What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
I have a general question and I'm sure it's been asked before but I can't find a good answer.
When is it appropriate to "Plead the fifth"?
For instance if a cop has you detained and asks "have you been smoking weed?", can you respond "I plead the fifth" or does this response only work in court rooms.
Please provide some examples of when it should and should not be used.
thanks.
