This tactic would allow the real cop one "informed" investigation on the liar and then truthfully know they are Mafia. But what could they do with this info, why would we then believe the the real cop?
Alongside the previous posted risks I think an attempted reveal would completely screw the town. It's better for the cop to stay hidden and then try to steer votes during the day.

Only issue with that, is seems like people who try and steer the votes end up with a target on their backs. You'd have to be able to still complete the argument on why this person is suspicious without making yourself look like scum.
