Require all interrogations to be recorded to protect the suspect from being wrongly convicted from a false confession.

Created by M.B. on May 20, 2014

False confessions are a serious issue, not only are they a prominent but they are also a very serious because people spend time in jail for crimes they didn't commit while the person who is truly guilty remains free because her or she is not tried. False confessions are such a serious problem because of their large influence on the members of the jury in court cases. However the reason people make false confessions lie with in the interrogation process. Many of the unjust and sometimes illegal tactics used by interrogators make false confessions as prominent as they are. However wrongful convictions due to false confessions can be easy to decrease. If the interrogations are recorded the members of the Jury can determine the legitimacy of the confession and base their conviction from there
