Is it legal for a police officer/detective to trick you like saying your partner already gave you up?

Is it legal for a detective to trick you like that in order to get a confession/information?


    




ADA Casey Novak
Yes, they do it all the time. When they see that both of you will not talk they will come into the room and tell you that your partner has already given you up, but that if you give up some information than the judge will take it into consideration. You will probably later find out that they tricked you, but yes it is legal for an officer of the law to do that.

If you give a confession after hearing that line you deserve to get busted anyways, just for being retarded.

And yes, it's perfectly legal.


Brittney :D
Totally Legal. It happens all the time. They can lie all they want and it's all legal.

Yes. Word of advice. Shut-up until a lawyer can speak for you.

yes, it is

No, ask for a lawyer or join the Prepaid Legal Services.
Do not volunteer information of any kind.

It also is not legal for a detective to trick you in anyway in
order to get a confession/information from the defendant.

Yes. It is not lawful for a cop to overcome your will and require you to confess despite not wanting to confess. It is not unlawful to inspire you to want to confess.

Yes, the cops can indeed lie to you.
Your best bet is to STFU and wait for your lawyer.

It is legal, but only a complete MORON would actually fall for that line.

Sorry, but it's true. :|
