Establishes pilot program in the DLPS requiring the electronic recording of certain police interrogations.
This bill establishes a pilot program in New Jersey requiring police to electronically record custodial interrogations related to specific violent crimes, such as murder, aggravated assault, kidnapping, sexual assault, robbery, and carjacking. It defines "custodial interrogation" as questioning during which a suspect reasonably feels they are in custody and questions are likely to elicit incriminating responses. All recordings must be preserved until a conviction is final or prosecution ends, and the Attorney General must report on the program's effectiveness within two years, including recommendations for potential statewide expansion. The pilot applies to police departments within the Department of Law and Public Safety (DLPS) during the program's implementation.
