Limitation on self-incrimination
28 Limitation on self-incrimination
A person who is required under this Part to answer a question or to produce a thing is not excused from answering the question or producing that thing on the ground that the answer to the question or the production of the thing might tend to incriminate the person or make the person liable to a penalty.
The answer to the question or production of the thing is not admissible in evidence against the person in any criminal proceedings (except proceedings for an offence under section 30 (1)–(3)) if—
the person objected at the time to answering the question or producing the thing on the ground that it might incriminate the person, or
the person was not warned on that occasion that the person may object to answering the question or producing the thing on the ground that it might incriminate the person.
