Caveat: “Both the U.S. Supreme Court and the Florida Second District Court of Appeal have found deception used by police permissible; the U.S. Supreme Court in Frazier v.

Oral deception or lying during questioning to a suspect is permissible and legal, however manufacturing or fabricating evidence is not.” https://www.adamsluka.com/can-the-police-lie-to-me.html
