To be precise, my reference to "asking" in my initial post was specifically directed at Haynes v. US, which ruled that the govt cannot require a felon to register a firearm he possesses, because such a requirement would amount to self-incrimination, violating his 5th amendment rights.
Sure any cop on the street can ask anyone anything, but like I said, I bet any admission would be tossed.
But I ain't a lawyer.
