Is that true though? Never heard that before.

It's somewhat up in the air. The prevailing theory is that the 5th protects against compelling what amounts to testimony... but it's only been tested a few times in court, never by SCOTUS. With mixed results.
Is there a way I can learn more about this? A resource for non-lawyers.
btw, I think OP meant incrimination
I understood what he meant, and in fact I even missed the typo until you pointed it out.
