An Act protecting youth during custodial interrogations

This bill amends Massachusetts law to protect juveniles during police interrogations by setting strict rules for when their statements can be used as evidence. It requires that a juvenile's confession be admissible only if they have an attorney present from the start, the entire process is audio and video recorded, and the charges involve only minor offenses. The law also prohibits juveniles or their guardians from waiving the right to have an attorney or to have the interrogation recorded. Additionally, all recordings of these interrogations must be kept and made available until the case is fully resolved.
