Does my 7-year right against self-incriminitation begin...

[Tab]

... The date I commit the offense

or does it reset

.... the date new incriminiating evidence is found?

2. Um, there's no time limit on the 5th Amendment.

3. 7-year-olds never incriminate themselves. n/t

[Statistical]

4. What?

You can't be forced to incriminate yourself ever. Not one second after, no 77 years after.


Let me check:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on 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 offense 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

Nope nothing in there about a time limit.

7. That's so 20th century.

Now we have the Patriot and Military Commissions Acts.

8. I think you're confusing the 5th with statute of limitations.

Now I'll have to look up crimes with statute of limitations of 7 years to find out which you've committed.
