re: Could you ever be forced into a confession?

Not that exciting of a story- sorry to lead you on. Leaving Venetian in Vegas about 6 in the morning walking to Caesar's where I am staying. Fall victim to an attempted armed robbery outside of casino, fight guy off until casino security makes it outside (luckily only about 20 seconds). As security comes out, he slings own wallet about 15 yards from the scuffle (I'm guessing to create the illusion that we were fighting for his wallet?- which was successful). They review security footage, ultimately let the guy go and I get LVPD called on me. Came in with good cop/bad cop telling me they have footage of me picking up his wallet (lie), asking me if it would be in my nature to pick up someone's wallet (yes, to be helpful), if I had ever made bad decisions before while drinking (duh), etc. By the end of it, they legitimately had me questioning if I tried to steal this dude's wallet. Ended up being cleared after further review of surveillance vid.

Tl;DR- Vegas cops are dicks and I think people can more easily be coerced to confess than most of you think, especially while intoxicated.
