Once you invoke your Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, law enforcement officers cannot compel you to answer questions. However, if you voluntarily choose to speak again after invoking this right, your statements may be admissible in court. Additionally, officers can question you about non-incriminating topics or seek to clarify your earlier responses, but they must respect your right to remain silent regarding self-incriminating matters.
