5. That the valid exercise of the right to remain silent does not constitute failure to fully participate and/or cooperate with the examination;

i. An offender validly invokes the right to remain silent, without consequence, if the answer to any question asked throughout any portion of the polygraph examination process as defined in N.J.A.C. 10A:72-3.7(a) could form the basis of an independent criminal investigation.
