One thing it doesn&#x27;t clear up for me is whether you can invoke the fifth amendment even in cases where there is not a specific crime you might incriminate yourself with.  &quot;Could your answer make it look like you committed a crime?&quot; Considering that I have been advised that anything I say may be used against me, I would think that the answer to this question is inherently yes, even if I can&#x27;t actually imagine <i>how</i> it might be used to incriminate me.  Can I invoke the fifth simply on the principle of playing it extremely safe?
