The Fifth Amendment

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

The Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights. It protects the people from being abused by the government in a legal procedure. To plead the Fifth Amendment is the act of refusing to testify under oath in the court of law that whatever you say can and will be used against you. A person has the right to be silent when being questioned by law enforcer; by recognizing the Fifth Amendment you have the right to refuse to answer according to the Miranda rights.

That is example of exercising the Fifth Amendment. If you admitted the law you violated, then chances are you will likely to be given with a ticket. So it is important to understand your rights.

Miranda rights are designed to prevent a person from testifying against themselves. An individual do not have to answer to a law enforcer due to this right. However, if an individual does say anything, whatever the said can and will be use against them. In addition, once in court if they cannot afford an attorney, the court will provide an attorney for them with no cost.
