California AB1905 prohibits law enforcement from seeking statements from juveniles under 26 in custody unless an imminent threat to life is involved.

California AB1905 amends the Welfare and Institutions Code to restrict law enforcement from obtaining statements from individuals under 26 years old who were 17 or younger at the time of the crime. This restriction applies when the individual is in custody and the questioning is conducted by undercover officers or agents of law enforcement. The bill allows for questioning if the officer reasonably believes the information is necessary to protect against an imminent threat to life.
