Let's get a little sci-fi freaky today...
Technically, it doesn't violate the Fifth Amendment, since it's not really me up there on the stand. It's only the holographic projection of a self-aware virtual copy. It's nothing more than a recording, the courts decided a year ago, so careless fools like me end up facing our shimmering dopplegangers when we get caught. All I did was run a red light, and I'm getting a fine and points off my license. The self-aware copy up there, on the other hand, gets a sentence of death. Serves the damn traitor right for not sticking up for me... I mean himself.
So I'm not Philip K. Dick. I'll cope.
