I was under the impression this was already either not allowed, or not explicitly disallowed but rarely happens because it could be seen as coercive and have the case thrown out. In the many hundreds of videos I've seen, interrogators usually do the OPPOSITE of this, trying to convince them that they aren't in trouble and it's no big deal, to make them relax and at-ease. The only time I recall something like your example is in movies, like The Interview (1998).
