It's a cat and mouse game played out by law enforcement in every state. When it becomes readily apparent the suspect is lying it's pretty common to use lies to trip up the original lies. Is it right? I don't know. I have trouble with the whole ends justifies the means mentality and I've seen too many times where those in authority have abused that authority. But the bottom line is it's not normally illegal for the police to use misinformation and out and out lies in an attempt to get you to incriminate yourself.
I remember reading an article in a National Sheriffs Association magazine about a case where two officers put a piece of paper on a copy machine that read "you're lying" and ran two wires out to some type of hat. They put the hat on a guy and told him it was a lie detector test. Every time they asked him a question they hit the copy button and showed him the "test" results. Within a couple questions he was telling them what happened, how it happened and who helped him.
Guess if you're that dumb you deserve what you get.
