I've never understood why its legal, then, for police to lie to people.

Undercover police and police lying is most a US phenomenon... It doesn't make much sense..

Yes, undercover police is used in other countries, but there are many restrictions and limitations. The US however is pretty big on what other countries consider entrapment - especially, in fictional TV series :)

Because the police are acting with a broad social authority, while you are acting with only your individual authority.
