I feel like there's a fundamental difference between an interrogator lying about his own back story to build rapport and them lying about other evidence, witnesses or their authority to make a deal, etc.

From what I've seen in the USA they normally lie about evidence and witnesses but they are careful to never lie explicitly about making a deal. That can apparently screw up the entire case, I think because of a supreme court decision.

The question then is: is that difference recognized in the recently passed law?
