Assignment:

After reviewing the material regarding our Constitution and the protections found under the Bill of Rights, answer the following question. Remember your word count requirement and source requirements (please refer to your syllabus).

Would the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination prohibit the government from any of the following: requiring all participants in a lineup to speak certain words; requiring a person to produce income tax records; threatening a person with a reduction in pay in his government job if he does not make incriminating testimonial admissions about a matter not related to his job? Why or why not? Support your positions.

Opinion Portion: If law enforcement violates this Fifth Amendment protection (and doesn't give Miranda warnings when they are legally required to) we will study later that means a CONFESSION by a criminal (even a murder) could not be heard by a jury in the trial. Do you think that is FAIR? In other words, if a police officer makes a mistake and forgets to give the Miranda warnings (ie - you have the 5th Amendment right to be silent), then the jury will never get to hear that the defendant CONFESSED TO and possibly gave a very graphic, detailed confession to the crime. Do you feel that is JUSTICE? Why or why not?
