They should be allowed to ask; if it has not yet even been established that a crime has been committed, citizens should be allowed to not answer.

But it is never established that a crime has been committed until a jury finds someone guilty of a crime.

False. If a body is found with a knife sticking out of his back, it is established that a crime has been committed.

But my statement was too restrictive. If it has not yet even been established as probable that a crime has been committed, citizens should be allowed to not answer.
