If you are the father of the girl who was kidnapped, NOBODY is going to give a shit if somebody scams some dirtbag into believing the police already know more than they do and they just need the last details and are willing to give the dirtbag some consideration if he fills in the blanks.
If you are the guy on the side of the road who really DID NOT do what a police officer obviously believes you did, you are going to care very much about the fact that a cop lied to you to confuse you and see if you would implicate yourself.
But if the same cop is gaming a known gang banger / drug dealer and manages to get the guy to consent to a search or otherwise implicate himself and he's sitting on a trunk full of drugs, guns and other illegals shit...well he's probably the only one who cares.
When you talk to police officers and it is in relation to a possible serious crime, they really aren't trying to help you, they are mostly deciding if you meet the criteria to be arrested or not.
And yeah, you can bet when you are dealing with the FBI, it will not be a level playing field. This is nothing new.
