Constitution provides right against self-incrimination to a "person."

Danger of incrimination must be to witness, not to third party.

Only admission of statements ••of defendant•• taken in violation of Miranda violates the self-incrimination clause; Miranda does not require suppression of police comments made to D after D invokes right to remain silent.

D lacks standing to contest statements of third party absent coercion.
