Since in the real world of interrogation the cops do NOT have to be truthful, but you do, you can most assuredly be "hypnotically" tricked into saying just about anything they want to say you said... (catch that?) Professional interrogators go to school and train for years to be able to get to the "truth", from you, who have not a clue what's really happening, or your right to remain silent.

No. It does not happen. Nor would it make any sense for the police to try to use hypnosis to interrogate a suspect. Let me explain:
First, the United States Supreme Court ruled in the Scales decision that all custodial interrogation must be recorded when it is practical to do so. Every department knows this and abides by it to the best of their ability. So if police investigative techniques began to implement hypnosis, recordings of this would be smattered all over the internet and TV. It would be disclosed by plaintiff's (or defendants in the criminal action) in all of those lawsuits as they would have access to the video via the mandated discovery process in either the civil or criminal case.
Second, even if you assume that the police would do something as stupid as to try to extricate confessions through hypnosis, the confession would not be admissible in court. Involuntary or coerced statements violate every state constitution as well as the US Constitution. So there would be no motive or reason for the police to get a statement that way because the judge would not allow it to be used against the defendant at trial.

Hypnosis requires a subject that is willing to be hypnotized. Even if this were not true, any lawyer could convince a jury to disregard the evidence obtained by hypnotizing the suspect, provided the judge let it into evidence to begin with.

Not criminals, but they will do it on rare occasions to help witnesses and victims remember details of an event.

not really. if you think about it the person doesnt want to confess and the person who is about to go under hypnosis has to agree to do it and has to want to do it for it to work. so like most of the time it most likely wouldnt work if they agree'd to it.

No, it is against the law, and police never break the law.

I don't think so. They are just suspects.
