Default Re: The right for police to lie?

What part of the 'the right to remain silent' is confusing?

If you are arrested, at no point are you going to 'talk your way out of it' or 'get the police to help you'.

Shut up, except for the phrase that pays: "I WANT A LAWYER".

But yes, legally a police officer can not tell you the truth to get information from you. As long as its not one of the topics that can get them in civil trouble: race, color, threat of violence etc.
