[edit] Use in interrogation
The effects of scopolamine were studied by criminologists in the early 20th century.[21] In 2009, it was proven that Czechoslovak communist secret police used scopolamine at least three times to obtain confessions from alleged anti-state conspirators.[22] Because of a number of undesirable side effects, scopolamine was shortly disqualified as a truth drug.[23]
