Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Fifth Amendment specifically includes protection against self-incrimination, which prohibits the government from compelling a person to provide evidence against themselves in a criminal case. This protection extends to involuntary confessions, as police cannot use coercion or force to obtain a confession from a suspect. While police brutality is also unconstitutional and violates a person's rights, it is not specifically protected under the Fifth Amendment. The Fifth Amendment does not provide protection for offensive speech during arrest or voluntary arrests, as these issues may fall under the First Amendment or Fourth Amendment, respectively.
