**URL:** [#](#)

5TH AMENDMENT The Fifth Amendment is perhaps more well-known because of the popularity of the police procedural, prevents self-incrimination and forbids “double jeopardy” (being tried for substantially the same crime more than once.) Understand your Miranda Rights, these are what protect you from accidentally saying something incriminating. A good rule of thumb is to say “Lawyer” and nothing else. The police will talk at you for hours but you don’t have to say a word. They can easily put words in your mouth by suggesting information to you if you converse.
