Just playing devil’s advocate here, but this idea of having to invoke your fifth amendment rights reminds me of a “Silent Man” (David Hampson) in the UK who would be arrested multiple times for blocking traffic by standing in the middle of the road. I’m not sure of the details, but in the process he would never speak to anyone at all (not even to his lawyer or psychiatrists, or just to confirm his name). It does seem problematic because what happens if the person arrested is actually mute?
