California Law Bans Deceptive Policing Tactic
A new California law will effectively ban a deceptive policing tactic used against the families of people killed by police.
According to a Reveal investigation, this practice involved concealing police killings while interrogating loved ones for information.
- Investigators must inform families of what happened to their loved one before questioning.
- Investigators are barred from lying to families or pressuring them into consenting to interviews.
- Families are allowed to bring a support person to interviews.
The legislation, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, aims to crack down on this disturbing practice.
