They should need to fix it then, so that the police are not allowed to lie to you (but are allowed to withhold information, or be deceptive, or lie when they are not on duty and don't have a police uniform), but you are allowed to tell the police untrue stuff as long as it does not constitute filing a false police report or accusing someone else of a crime that they have not committed, or a few other exceptions (e.g. abusing the emergency service).
- zzo38computer 7y agoActually I missed a few things. Both sides should be allowed to do the following: Refuse to answer a question (except asking the police to see a copy of a warrant or their police identification (they can refuse you to touch their police identification though)), or claim to not know something or forget something (even if that is untrue). And if someone nevertheless says something untrue even in a way which is not permitted, if there is a reasonable chance to believe it would be inadvertent, then they are forgiven (and if they are the police, may be allowed to try again later (if the person they are interrogating is still a suspect), even though the first attempt at arresting them didn't count).
