A man is driving late at night after working a 12 hour shift at the hospital. He is tired and struggling to keep his eyes open while behind the wheel. A police officer sees him drift off the road for a brief second and pulls him over for suspicion of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. While the driver must comply with the officer and pull his vehicle over and step out of the car, which amendment ensures that the driver does not have to speak to the officer?
