Set aside the ethics, legality, and saneness of doping an arrestee for a moment. Anyone know if this impacts the arrested person's 5th amendment rights?

Once you administer a mind altering drug against that person's will, any and all statements made by that person ought to be out of bounds for using against them at trial.

Or suppose they start acting out after they're injected, that probably shouldn't be considered resisting arrest/assault/etc.

I was going to ask the same question. After this injection, is there a minimal time before you can spontaneously decide to make a confession without a lawyer?
