True or false?

Peter and Paul are business associates. The police enter the business with a search warrant because Peter is under investigation for a crime. When the police ask Paul to answer some questions, he agrees, but one of the questions, if answered, might make him culpable too. Paul must answer the question because he is not under investigation and therefore does not currently have the right against self-incrimination.

    This assertion is false

    Explanation:

    The freedom of self-incrimination protects the everybody irrespective of whether he's innocent or guilty by limiting the power of the government.

    This means that nobody (including Paul) can be compelled to be a witness against himself or forced to say anything against his wish

    The Fifth Amendment of the Constitution establishes the privilege against self - incrimination. This prevents the government from forcing a person to testify against himself

    Hence, Paul has the right against self-incrimination
