Recorded interrogations
(Raoul, D-Chicago; Drury, D-Highland Park) expands the offenses in which a suspect's statement is presumed to be inadmissible unless there is an electronic recording made of the custodial interrogation. It also allows prosecutors to record and use a statement of a suspect during a custodial interrogation if the statement was given at a time when the interrogators were unaware of facts and circumstances that would create probable cause to believe that the suspect committed a crime required to be recorded. Effective January 1, 2014.
