Wait….Are Cops Allowed to Lie to You?

Yes. Let’s go over #5 ways the police are allowed to lie to you.

#1) They Can Say They Have Physical Evidence Against You

Cops often claim to have a suspect’s DNA, fingerprints, etc.  during an interrogation in order to induce an admittance of guilt.

#2) They Can Say Your Friend Lied on You

During interrogation, cops often tell suspects, accused of working together, that the other has confessed in efforts to induce an admittance of guilt.

#3) They Can Say They’ll Talk to the DA for You

During interrogation, cops may make promises they can’t keep such as leniency and plea deals. Only your lawyer can negotiate with the DA on your behalf.

#4) They Can Say “This Is Off the Record” When It Isn’t

Cops are not required to disclose the presence of a recording device in the interrogation room. When you speak with the police, nothing is “off the record”.

#5) They Can Say They Have an Eyewitness

Cops often claim they have evidence they do not have in order to induce an admittance of guilt.
