It mentions that after answering some quetions the officer became suspicious of two individuals in the car.

You have 5th Amendment rights. Any lawyer will tell you do not answer questions posed by the police without a lawyer present. Ever!

Envoking the 5th is not an admission of guilt.

These guys are criminals and deserve what they got, but because of them our rights are affected. Its just better to keep your mouth shut.

Absolutely. The people involved were incredibly stupid all around. It is very seldom that ground-breaking supreme court decisions are based on the actions of saints. (see Miranda) I don't really give a damn if the people involved are guilty as hell. What sucks is that now the cops have yet another reason and excuse to lie. If they weren't rewarded for dishonesty, we'd see less of it.
