>If a cop is doing undercover work and he's asked that does he have to identify himself?
no

>>34246913
Nope, it's a common myth that undercover cops have to identify themselves when asked.

They don't have to tell you, but when you're trying to figure out if someone is lying to you, gauging their reactions can often help.

What if this meme was fabricated by cops for the sole purpose of fooling criminals?

>>34248473
I'm pretty sure that's the case. Why else would it be a thing?

>Yo, I think this nigga's a cop
>I'm not a cop; cops have to tell you if you ask them

>>34246913
Yes he is legally obligated to get himself killed because he can't lie about being a cop
