Abstract

In this essay, I argue that it is morally wrong for police to lie to suspects in interrogations and that it should be legally prohibited. I base my argument on broadly Kantian considerations about respect for autonomy: Respect for rational agency forbids lying to suspects and there is no plausible and compelling rationale for allowing police to lie to suspects in typical cases of interrogation.

为什么警察不应该被允许对嫌疑人撒谎

在这篇文章中，我认为警察在审讯中对嫌疑人撒谎在道德上是错误的，这应该在法律上被禁止。我的论点基于康德对尊重自主性的广泛考虑:尊重理性代理禁止对嫌疑人撒谎，在典型的审讯案件中，允许警察对嫌疑人撒谎没有合理的和令人信服的理由。
