Actually you may invoke the 5th for anything that isn't in your best interest (ie witness against himself). The 'incrimination' crap is just that, a twist on the 'in any criminal case' (the 'any' is the key point). It's also worth noting there are NO exceptions to this, nowhere in the Constitution is forced acceptance of immunity for example permitted. Amendment V No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. ____________________________________________________________________ Beware gentle knight, there is no greater monster than reason.
