  • Yes, but the case being referenced involved what it means to invoke your fifth amendment rights.
    Is remaining silent invoking the right, or do you have to state “I am invoking the right to remain silent”, or some other statement?

    Per the supreme Court, you can’t passively invoke the right and can only do so actively. So simply not answering a question isn’t invoking the fifth amendment and could be used against you.
