It's a fact. They can lie/bluff their asses off to you in an interrogation to get a confession. And the courts give them every right to do it. This isn't news.

LEOs are not allowed to lie about certain things (like the nature of your rights), but they decidedly MAY lie to you constitutionally in order to secure a confession, especially if they have some evidence that you committed the offense (for example). (Some states may alter this by statute).

In other words, the answer to the question is not binary.
