I've had a cop trick me like this once. I asked him if he were a cop... he turned to his buddy and said "pfft.. .this guy wants to know if i'm a cop" and laughed. (avoiding the question, much like yourself). Made me feel stupid and I retracted my question, not expecting an answer, shared my pot... thats when he told me he was a cop. Lesson learned. Don't be a turd.

In 1950, Congress passed the Uniform Code of Military Justice
(UCMJ),3 providing a comprehensive system of military justice applicable
to all the armed forces. Through this landmark legislation, Congress spe-
cifically addressed offenses involving falsehoods by service members.
Such falsehoods have always proven contrary to the ideals of trust and
integrity vital to the maintenance of military discipline.
Falsehoods and false statements by service members are “condemned by military law as
much for [their] unsoldierly qualities as for the deceit and fraud [they] may
accomplish. A falsehood can never be interpreted as an innocent act.”
.... Service members often make false statements. Not all such state-
ments, however, violate Article 107. In establishing Article 107, Congress
provided that, “[a]ny person subject to this chapter who, with intent to
deceive, signs any false record, return, regulation, order, or other official
document, knowing it to be false, or makes any other false official state-
ment knowing it to be false, shall be punished as a court-martial may
direct.”

Old wives tale? If you are arrested or tried in court for evidence obtained from a cop who when specifically asked "Are you a cop?" lies by replying "no". Then the evidence obtained through that deceit is useless in court. This is no old wives tale. I've seen it in action.
In the United States at least.
