Authorizes one-party recording of conversations in police facilities during criminal investigations.
This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow an official conducting an authorized investigation into a crime against a person or for arson to record conversations with a suspect in a police facility. The facility must have clear and conspicuous notices that conversations may be recorded. The recording can occur after the individual has been given their Miranda warnings. This change applies to investigations conducted by law enforcement officials.
