“It can… at least when it wants to ensure you’re paying your taxes. And while the 5th Amendment still stands in principle, the Feds have found a loophole that can force you to incriminate yourself… so long as it’s written down. And because of this technicality, in 1984, the Supreme Court decided: ‘The Fifth Amendment provides absolutely no protection for the contents of private papers of any kind.’ And believe it or not, it gets worse. Any of your personal records held by a third party (like a bank) aren’t protected either. Prosecutors can issue very broad summonses forcing these 3rd parties to hand over ALL personal and financial records.”
