I am using criminal acts in my examples because the 5th amendment is ABOUT criminal proceeding.

You said it did not apply in a civil case.

I said it sure as he** did.

If there is any possibility that an answer you give might lead to you revealing or even suggesting your involvement or knowledge of a crime, you CANNOT be forced to answer, and the exercise of that right cannot be used against you.

Read my post #144 and stop putting words in my mouth.

Here is what I said:

“You have the privilege to refuse to say anything that will incriminate you, and it extends to both civil and criminal proceedings.”

Have a nice day.
