Taking the fifth - applies in the US and is the term used when someone refuses to answer a question put to them by a government official.
The Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, (which is part of the Bill of Rights), protects against abuse of government authority in a legal procedure. The particular section that is being applied when someone takes the fifth is:-
"No person shall ........ be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself"
