That's the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution & you can find more on the internet about it.
It's, like, when Gary Condit, most recently, was called to a Grand Jury to testify about the Chandra Levy case, he used that all day long to prevent having to tell the truth about what he knew.
So, he couldn't and didn't have to testitfy against himself.
It's a great thing to have this in our system.
The Truth Will Out, no matter what they say, so no worry.
Being a Federal right, it pretty much applies to the States, too.
If a cop asks you to indite or confess yourself into a suspected crime, just say "I want a lawyer." And they have to leave you alone and give you one.
"Innocent until PROVEN guilty." By a judge and jury and trial.
