[Marvel] I'm a mutant with lie-detector powers. What are the legal implications if I become a police officer?

So I'm a teenager and I just figured out I'm a mutant.  Basically I have a really narrow set of mind-control psychic powers that make people tell me the truth.  Even when I'm not trying, being near me makes people less likely to lie and more likely to blurt out things they feel guilty about.  (My mom blames me for the divorce.)  When I focus on someone, they pretty much have to answer anything they're asked as honestly as they can.  They literally can't stop themselves from telling the truth.  And whenever anyone does tell a lie near me, about anything, I know they're lying.  (Every night before bed my mom says "I love you."  Yeah.  Can't wait until I'm 18.)

The problem is I want to be a cop.  And first I was like "oh, cool, nobody can lie to me, this power makes me the perfect detective."  And then I'm like "oh shit rules of evidence I'm basically forcing people to confess and that's not cool".  And it's not like I can go to a judge and say "hey, this guy said he didn't have any drugs at home and I know he's lying, can I have a search warrant for his house".

So lawyers here (Jen Walters, maybe?  I'd love to meet her), what's my situation?  Is there any point in me trying for a career in law enforcement?  And how can I best use my powers to put the bad guys away with evidence that's admissible in court?

Shouldn't be a problem. You say people do lie to you, so you're not forcing them to reveal information, just making them more inclined to. Which is the whole point of an interrogation. And yeah, you "knowing" they are lying would not hold up in court, but it would still be a tremendous help to you in your investigation. Much easier to get proof of what happened if you already know all about it.
