“Most Americans understand that the police are allowed to lie to suspects. Whether learned from watching procedurals, news reports or personal experience, it is generally recognized that deceit during suspect interrogations is a routine feature of American policing. What is less understood are the consequences of accepting such practices, and the extent to which the U.S. stands as an outlier in sanctioning them. … Despite potential investigative advantages, the prevalence of deception has had severe social consequences, not only for the innocent people subjected to such practices, but also for the integrity of the criminal justice system.” (10/05/24)
