Its not a question of whether or not the use of lies and/or misrepresentations by the police are legal, its a question of whether the suspects will was overborne in their act of confessing to a crime. Police are pretty much granted broad leighway in their tactics to secure a confession out of a suspect and as long as under all relevant circumstances it is not obvious that a person involuntarily confessed, they can do just about what they want.
I'm not responding to the rest of this topic. I'll just end up pissed off.
