Enacts provisions relating to law enforcement custodial interviews
This bill creates a legal presumption that a statement made during a police custodial interview is involuntary if the officer intentionally used false information to obtain it. The presumption can be overturned only if prosecutors provide clear and convincing evidence that the statement was voluntary despite the officer's deception. Officers who deliberately use false information during such interviews face disciplinary action under existing law. The law directly affects law enforcement officers conducting custodial interrogations and individuals in police custody during questioning.
