HB 1077 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Enacts provisions relating to law enforcement custodial interviews

HB 1077 creates a legal presumption that a statement made during a police arrest interview is involuntary if an officer intentionally used false information to obtain it. This directly affects arrestees whose statements may be excluded from court and police officers who use deceptive tactics. The presumption can only be overturned if the state proves by "clear and convincing evidence" that the statement was voluntary despite the false information. Officers who knowingly use false information during such interviews face disciplinary action under existing law. The bill aims to strengthen protections against coercive police practices during custodial questioning.
