172 Abrogation of privilege against self-incrimination

incriminate the person or expose the person to a penalty.
(2) However, the answer to a question or information or a document
provided by an individual is not admissible as evidence against that
individual in civil or criminal proceedings other than proceedings
arising out of the false or misleading nature of the answer,
