  • those accused of crimes but not yet convicted.

    People have rights.

    Rights do not disappear just because you get accused.

    In addition, the principle of “innocent until proven guilty” applies, and it is only the judge who decides what is proven and what is not (this protects from prejudice at the police)

    I don’t know all your amendments, but there is a thing like your 5th. just stronger: The accused is free not to help the police in any way. He may say things or remain silent, he needs not to give them things, and they may not create any kind of disadvantage for him from that. Also the court must not interpret this against him. Also spouse and family are not required to help or testify.

    It is Germany here.
