This story invoked some of the underlying intuitions in the UR argument. The police in this example basically just out-waited the guy, who eventually confessed. I don't feel they 'forced' a confession through any sort of torturous technique; the choice for silence was free at each moment, but neither were those ongoing choices considered an indication of, "I'm not going to talk" (a solidification of sorts).

The right to silence does not entail the right to non-occasion for choice.
