SeeSharp: When a judge orders you to turn over something, that is a warrant, which is all the 5th amendment requires.
To 2ndDivisionVet: The 5th Amendment cannot be invoked if the accused has already made statements in his own defense. In other words: It cannot be selectively invoked. If the accused says "I wasn't at the bank that day," he cannot then refuse (citing the 5th) to answer the question "Well, where were you, then?"
To SeeSharp: It is necessary to make a fine but important distinction here. A judge can issue a warrant authorizing the police to search for and seize physical evidence, but you cannot be required to "turn over" physical evidence - and certainly no judge can force you to speak (unless: see above). (However, a Grand Jury can force you speak.)

Don’t Talk to the Police

That’s one of the most pernicious and 100% FALSE ideas about the 5th. It is totally invokable on a question by question basis. I don’t know what bad TV show put that piece of lies out there, but the writers should be beaten severely. You are 100% allowed to say “I wasn’t at the bank” AND refuse to say where you were.
