Establishes parameters for admissibility of certain statements made by persons under arrest during custodial interrogations
This bill establishes new rules to protect children's rights during police questioning and outlines stricter procedures for investigating complaints against law enforcement officers. For juveniles, it requires officers to read specific rights similar to adult Miranda warnings, including the right to stop talking at any time and the right to have a parent or lawyer present. The law also mandates that audio or video recordings of child interviews be presumed admissible in court unless proven unreliable, while prohibiting officers from participating in or soliciting information during these interrogations. Additionally, the bill creates protections for officers facing internal investigations by requiring written notice of allegations, limiting questioning to reasonable times and locations, and ensuring interviews are conducted by no more than two investigators.
