There's a few things they can't lie about. They can't lie/make up any deals for lighter sentences or whatever. Note, that doesn't mean if they say 'we'll try to get them to easier on you' means that will happen, but if you (and your lawyer) actually strike a real deal (say to provide enough evidence to convict others), the police can't screw with that.
They also can't lie about the legality of actions while in the visible position of being the police. That means they CAN lie about it when undercover.
- smokeyj 16y agoWhen they move their lips, they ARE lying to you.
- dunstad 16y agoCan we get some supporting evidence, please? This strikes me as a little unreasonable.
- spokey 16y agoOf course that is unreasonable. I don't think it was meant to be taken literally, but as advice recommending that as a suspect or person of interest one generally shouldn't assume that law enforcement folks are on your side. (I have a lot of respect for the police: they accept a lot of risk to try to ensure a civil society in exchange for not a lot of reward, but there's little doubt that if they see themselves in an adversarial relationship with someone they are willing and able to mislead or misdirect that person in order to accomplish their aims. There is a reason that the Miranda Warning became a legal requirement.)
