Two thoughts. First, should undercover investigations be allowed? Should law enforcement officials be allowed to lie about their identity in order to obtain more evidence? It is not a trivial question, although I agree with you that we don't need secret police. Second, does simply saying that public servants aren't allowed to lie...work? It seems like there are many situations where public officials lie broadly and baldly, and there is no comeuppance, not even when perjurious!
