Fbi Investigative Drugs Legality

Summary

The use of investigative drugs, such as truth serums, by the FBI is generally prohibited in the United States due to ethical and legal concerns. This practice would likely violate the Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination and due process, as forced confessions are inadmissible in court. Legal precedents have consistently prohibited the use of such methods. If you have concerns about your legal rights or need more information, consider consulting a legal professional for guidance.
