I know that. I was trying to get him to understand that the op was talking in a generic sense. Both op and myself realize that new Zealand has an equivalent concept of the fifth. Op wasn't trying to say walk in and literally say "plead the fifth" but walk in and do the equivalent of that.

People get way to literal when they don't need to be.
