Yes, they're allowed to use tricks like that to get a confession.

United States' legal system allow police officers to lie about having a witness when they're conducting an investigation in order to open an opportunity for a bargain. What they're not allowed to do is lying about the punishment that could be charged to the suspect.

The police are allowed to use the psychological trick to get someone’s confession. The police are not allowed to use physical force but are allowed to use the psychological trick in interrogation.  

 

EXPLANATION

The confessions of a suspect must be given voluntarily. The police should not use physical force to coerce a suspect into confessing. Even though police have been prohibited to use physical force as a weapon to get a confession, they are allowed to use psychological tricks to get someone’s confession. The most common psychological tricks that the police use is deception.  

 

As an example, police are allowed to tell the suspect that they found the suspect’s fingerprint and DNA evidence in the crime scene, while in reality, the police didn’t find anything. The government permits the police to use deception for factual matters. The police can use this to get the real and most truthful confession from the suspect.

 

Even if psychological tricks are allowed, but there are not applied without limits. One thing that the police are not allowed to use is telling lies about legal rights. For example, the police should not misinterpret the legal rights of a defendant by telling the suspect that their confession will not be used to charge them.

 

For example, the police shouldn’t tell a suspect that they believe the murder is accidental and they will not get arrested or threatened to arrest the suspect’s family. Even though psychological tricks are allowed, they still have to be used within rules and limitations.

Romanesque religious art has been described as scaring Christians into behaving well, while much Gothic art is seen as approacha
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Gothic art was more efficient.

Explanation:

Both Roman and Gothic art had a strong religious influence. However, Roman art passed religious concepts in a rigid and unattainable way to citizen laguns. The deities were portraits of distant forms, unsocialized and available only to the most deserving.

Gothic art in turn showed religious concepts that were less elitist, more intimate and accessible. These concepts showed deities as friendly and ready ways to listen to those who invoked them. In short, the Gothic art left religion as a refuge for all the tormented.
