Amendment Five

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a 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."

When I watch movies about a case I always here the saying..."I plead the fifth." When you plead the fifth, you are exercising your fifth amendment right to not incriminate yourself with testimony. The fifth amendment says you have the right to not testify and incriminate yourself. But if you decide to plead the fifth, you probably have to plead everytime and if you do answer the question then you lost your right. By saying you plead the fifth doesn't mean that you still can't be found guilty.

This video demonstates the fifth amendment and he explains how he approaches an individual that is involved with something.  He goes through the rights with them and lets the individual know that they do have the right to remain silent. If you lie and the police go to the judge, then that can hurt them more than if the individual would have just talked to the police and be honest. If you talk to the police everything will be written down, and if you get pulled over the cop writes everything that is said.

This picture is demonstrating the Fifth Amendment, by showing that an individual does have the right to remain silent. "You have the right to remain silent, anything you say maybe be used against you in the court. You have a right to an attorney, and you can decide not to talk to me at anytime and exercise these rights." That is a basic way to say a warrant to an individual.
