Haynes v. US

And I didn't say they couldn't ask, just that I'd bet any answer he gave would not be allowed as evidence.

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.
