Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker just signed a new law that, among other things, bars cops from lying to minors during interrogations.
In other words, they admitted that it was regular practice up to this point to lie to young people.
And the bill doesn’t bar cops from lying to minors generally—just from lying during interrogations. So, if a cop lies to a child on the street, or to a kid they have in a cop car—that is still fine.
So is lying to adults, under any circumstances.
The conclusion is obvious: we have no reason to believe anything the police say.
