Summary: In this interview, we discuss Hunt's newest book in which he illustrates how the police’s widespread use of proactive deception and dishonesty is inconsistent with fundamental norms of political morality, eroding public faith in the police institution. Hunt clarifies that deception can be justified if the stakes are high enough, but, generally speaking, he is opposed to lying to suspects.
