In Illinois, Police Must NOT Lie, at least to minors.

 

Law

Illinois Is The 1st State To Tell Police They Can't Lie To Minors In Interrogations

 

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signed a new bill into law Thursday barring police from lying to underage kids during interrogations.

Commonly used interrogation tactics, such as promising leniency or insinuating that incriminating evidence exists, are banned when questioning suspects younger than 18 under the new law, which goes into effect Jan. 1.

 

 

 But in Alabama?????

 

 According to a North Alabama law firm, that is decidedly NOT the case in this state:

"The police aren't obligated to be honest with you. In other words, it's legal under Alabama law for the police to lie to you and tell you they have your fingerprints, your DNA at a crime scene. They can lie and tell you that you've been identified in video or by a witness or that an accomplice has sold you out. They convey all of these things and they can be complete absolute lies. Most of the time it's legal for them to do so."
