You may also be protecting yourself from providing an untruthful alibi, the evidence of which may also be used against you in a criminal trial.

You can never be physically compelled to answer a question, of course, but your constitutional right to avoid providing incriminating testimony is only present when you are in custody and are being interrogated. In that circumstance there cannot be any negative consequences if you refuse to answer questions. However, in other circumstances, you can be arrested for interfering with an officer if you refuse to answer basic questions or identify yourself. An example would be if you are stopped on the street by an officer investigating a crime for which you fit the description of the perpetrator and you refuse to identify yourself. In that circumstance you could be arrested.
