Nothing special here -- law enforcement agencies in the USA are allowed to lie to people like this as well. There is a reason defense attorneys here keep telling people that if they are ever arrested they should say nothing until a lawyer is present. Somewhere on Youtube there is a video where a former cop describes how he once told some kid that he should write an apology letter to the family he stole from, and the cop would deliver it; that "apology letter" was presented as evidence in court, as a confession. Trickery is a matter of course for the US government, at basically every level.
