Description
Prohibition of deceptive tactics during the custodial interrogation of a minor. Provides that any communication made by a minor as a result of a custodial interrogation on or after July 1, 2022, shall be presumed to be inadmissible as evidence against such minor making such communication in any adjudication of delinquency or criminal proceeding for an act that if committed by an adult would be a criminal offense if, during the custodial interrogation, a law-enforcement officer knowingly engages in deception, as defined in the bill. The bill provides that the presumption of inadmissibility for such communication may be overcome if the communication was voluntarily given. Read the Bill »

Comments
SUPPORT. Bans lying to minors by police when they are being interrogated while in custody.
If passed, any confession of a minor, made as a result of a custodial interrogation conducted at a place of detention would be presumed inadmissible, if law enforcement knowingly engaged in deception during the custodial interrogation. The presumption of inadmissibility may be overcome if confession was voluntarily given.
