You have the right to remain silent when asked to answer questions that may INCRIMINATE you.

And that can be used to incriminate you; in fact, it can help them tailor the incrimination:

“Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime.”
— Lavrentiy Beria, head of Joseph Stalin’s secret police

However, then, the magistrate in whose jurisdiction you are arrested and charged with a crime, may also revoke your right to be released, pending araignment.

If a magistrate can revoke the right then it's not a right, but a privilege.

Hmmm:
We have the right to be free. If you murder somebody, the state has the necessary duty to supersede that right for the safety of society... to prevent flight...seek justice. Does that make ‘freedom’ a privilege?
I dunno. Government has the duty to protect the governed, employing reasonable measures. We see it every day. And we benefit from it.
