An Act preventing false confessions

Summary

The bill says any confession or statement taken during a police interrogation that involved deception is presumed involuntary and cannot be used as evidence unless the state proves it was truly voluntary. It applies to both juveniles and adults and mandates audio‑visual recording of all custodial interrogations, making unrecorded statements inadmissible. The aim is to curb false confessions and increase transparency in police questioning.
