Yes. You should not be able to lie. Other countries survive just fine without this ability for their cops.

Should an undercover policeman be allowed to tell the lie that he is not a cop?

I think that's different since it's not an interrogation.

It is different but why should the cop be allowed to lie? The lie that he’s not undercover may lead others to make incriminating statements that are later used against them in court, just as statements in an interrogation are.

Edit: just got a 14-day ban for my initial comment on this thread.
