HB 1549 -- Custodial Interrogation Recordings

Sponsor:  Calloway

Currently, law enforcement agencies are not required to perform
custodial interrogations of persons suspected of committing or
attempting to commit certain felonies when the interrogations are
not feasible, the suspect requests the interrogation not be
recorded, the interrogation occurs outside the state, or if the
recording equipment is not available or fails.  This bill removes
these exceptions to require the recording.  If the recording
equipment fails during an interrogation, the agency must stop the
interrogation until the equipment is repaired or other equipment
can be used.
