The crimes being committed here by the DEA are equivalent to the following:
- Suspect is detained and harshly interrogated, rights violated, possibly tortured.
- Suspect signs confession
- Suspect is given a drug to wipe his/her memory of the torture/abuses.
- Suspect is convicted of crime he/she committed.
The specific law that is being violated is different, but the effect is the same, since one could argue that if the drug the suspect was given wiped away any memory of the mistreatment, it might as well not have occurred.
