Of course without committing a crime before and without saying anything else.

They'd probably call social services or a doctor because someone going on about a "fifth amendment" in Switzerland is clearly in need of medical attention

I once read about a man who was arrested in (I think) either Serbia or Croatia who told the police that he was taking the "fifth amendment" because he'd seen that on TV in a dubbed American show and thought he could do that there too.

ETA: And many people in German-speaking countries think that if you get arrested by police in a German-speaking country, you are read a translated Miranda warning: "Sie haben das Recht zu schweigen. Alles, was Sie sagen, kann vor Gericht gegen Sie verwendet werden. Sie haben das Recht auf einen Anwalt. Wenn Sie sich keinen Anwalt leisten können, wird Ihnen vom Gericht einer zugeteilt."
