The making of statements that might expose you to criminal prosecution, either now or in the future. The 5th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits the government from forcing you to provide evidence (as in answering questions) that would or might lead to your prosecution for a crime.

Revealing one's genitals under circumstances likely to offend others.

Indecent exposure is considered a misdemeanor in most states.
