yep, they pretend to be on your side to get you talking. nothing irritates me more than seeing people get convicted because they were tricked into incriminating themselves. we probably need a constitutional amendment for this. there needs to be a process by which "testimony" given in the heat of the moment or extracted by trickery before legal counsel is given needs to be thrown out and not considered in court. in any imaginable case where the person is in fact guilty and admits it, then tries to get out of it later, there will be plenty of other evidence to use to convict (like, they admit where the body was, there's almost certainly plenty of evidence aside from that anyway). better for 10 guilty men to go free than one innocent man spend a day in prison.
