Just looked it up, looks interesting. Also just found out that using fifth amendment can be used as evidence against you, I thought that wasn't allowed.
IIRC, you need to actually assert that you are exercising your 5A rights; simply remaining silent is not sufficient.
But yeah, SCOTUS has really significantly weakened that amendment, in a very bad way.
