if some one asked you a question you did not want to answer all you have to say is i plea the 5th and you would not have to answer that question

Anybody is permitted to know their exact rights and the rights of others because of the Bill of Rights. It is for the United States, the Bill of Rights; and if you ever wondered why cops always say "you have the right to remain silent, anything you say or do may be used against you in a court of law", it's because they are required by law to say that because the suspect must know his or her rights. I hope I helped
