Politicians and ceos can use it to deny that they've done anything wrong after disposing of the evidence?
How is the government compensating a private citizen for taking their property any of those things? Slavery was legal, so making it illegal one day was the government taking away property. They should have paid slave owners.
I'm talking about the 5th amendment. What the fuck are you talking about? The fifth amendment is about self incrimination.
Amendment V No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
You're right they absolutely should have.
