Yes a cop can lie about the evidence they have during the investigation in order to get more inofrmation from a suspect. They have tot tell the truth in court. That is why you never talk tot police without a lawyer present.

YES. Cops lie all the time. Part of it is normal police practice and/or an interogation skill that they are trained to use. If you have any further questins about this or any other criminal issue, please feel free to check out my website at: www.slavinlawfirm.com or call my office.
