Juveniles: criminal procedure; legal representation and electronic recording requirements during custodial interrogation for juveniles; provide for. Amends sec. 1, ch. XIIA of 1939 PA 288 (MCL 712A.1) & adds sec. 17e to ch. XIIA.
This bill requires that a juvenile have an attorney present during any interrogation while in custodial detention, and it prohibits these minors from waiving their right to legal representation. Additionally, the law states that any self-incriminating statements made by a juvenile during such an interrogation are inadmissible as evidence if they were not represented by counsel at the time. These provisions directly affect juveniles under the age of 18 who are subject to delinquency petitions and law enforcement questioning in a detention setting.
