I think there's a clear bright difference between the police lying to a suspect about her rights, versus lying about what the police do or don't already know. The former is Kafkaesque; the latter is merely Dostoevskyan. What is absurd is that anyone would fall for any of this in modern America. Every parent should teach their children that in any contentious interaction with police, the only words they should ever say are "I want a lawyer".
