Bill Summary

Relative to authorizing the recording of conversations during certain investigations. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to allow law enforcement officials conducting authorized investigations into crimes against a person or arson to conduct one-party recordings of conversations with suspects in a police facility, as long as the facility has clear and conspicuous notices that such conversations may be recorded, and the suspect has been given their Miranda warnings. This change to the law provides an exception to the general prohibition on recording conversations without the consent of all parties involved.
