There is a perverse silver lining. We know they are allowed to lie, and therefore should always assume they're lying. People in other countries may be fooled into thinking the police are always truthful. No matter what prohibitions or restrictions are in place, the state will change the rules if it wants to badly enough. Better to drop the pretense that police should ever be trusted.
The problem is that there's an entire copaganda entertainment system in place to make sure most folks don't actually know about the lying, or only see it in the context of situations where the lying captures a rapist or murderer.
