Bill > AB1905

This bill, by adding Section 625.8 to the Welfare and Institutions Code, prohibits law enforcement officers from seeking statements or information from individuals who were 17 years old or younger when a crime was committed and who are currently in custody, if the information is obtained through undercover officers or individuals acting as agents of law enforcement. This aims to prevent deceptive interrogation tactics when dealing with minors in custody, building upon existing law that already restricts certain interrogation methods. Furthermore, the bill mandates that courts consider any deliberate violation of these new provisions when deciding whether to admit statements obtained and when assessing the credibility of law enforcement officers.
