CH> You are correct.  However, in the situation described above
CH> when you are found in possession of the drugs, probable
CH> cause exists absent some explanation that would establish 
CH> the legality of your possessing them.  Moreover, you do not
CH> have to answer incriminating questions in order to state to
CH> the officer: "I have a prescription for those drugs from XYZ
CH> pharmacy issued by Dr. Smith".  If you do have that
CH> prescription there is nothing in that statement to 
CH> incriminate you.  If you don't, then you'd be well advised
CH> to keep your mouth shut.
So if I exercise my right I go to jail. . .great system
