A new bill unanimously passed by Indiana Republicans and Democrats alike will prohibit cops from lying to children as part of interrogation efforts to secure confessions.
Senate Bill 415 passed through the Indiana Senate on Monday with a 48-0 vote after previously making its rounds through both the House and Senate. The bill will now be sent along to Governor Eric Holcomb’s desk where it will await being signed into law.
The new legislation states that any statement made by a juvenile during a police interrogation would be inadmissible in court if the juvenile is under the age of 18 and has been knowingly lied to by a police officer.
