I'm not sure that "isn't fair". Its more like exploiting a technicality. But if it helps, I'd be for a provision that forced law enforcement to notify a subject

I'm not sure that "isn't fair". Its more like exploiting a technicality. But if it helps, I'd be for a provision that forced law enforcement to notify a subject when an attorney is offering to represent them at the time that it happens, and that they have the right to acccept that representation. Though, I wouldn't hold my breath given that he was already Miranda'd.
The cops may be doing something illegal, at which point the interrogation would be inadmissable. But that would validate that the system works. Remember that we are discussing lying and afforded protections against it. His attorney is an afforded protection, and he should have requested one.
