Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker discusses Moody's upgrade of the state's bond rating, the first rating upgrade from a credit rating agency in more than 20 years, during a press conference in the governor's office at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield, Ill., Tuesday, June 29, 2021. SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Thursday signed the nation’s first law prohibiting police from lying to juveniles during criminal interrogations.by young people, was one of four pieces of legislation the Democrat signed, he said, to “change the laws that have failed the people they serve.”
Chicago Democrats Sen. Robert Peters and Rep. Justin Slaughter sponsored the juvenile bill. It bans detectives from using deceptive practices when questioning minors in criminal investigations. Experts say young people are far more likely than adults to offer false confessions. It takes effect Jan. 1, along with another plan allowing a county prosecutor to seek re-sentencing for an offender if the original sentence “no longer advances the interests of justice.”Having an immediate effect is a law requiring a study of ways to reduce the state’s prison population through similar re-sentencing action and a law that allows offenders to participate in so-called restorative justice programs, in which offenders reconcile with victims.
This is great news! This means that children can also make fake confessions about their sexuality that their parents push onto them.
It took until 2021 for someone to ban police tricking children into going to jail.
For the police to misguide people deliberately is disgusting. You can't trust or respect people meant to protect and serve that do this.
What? So it's legal for cops to lie to kids in interrogations? What the hell is going on here?
This should be a national standard. Let’s make this happen in Virginia!
I've told my kid from a young age. 'You are not to give police any information other then my name and number'
Let’s end the right of Police to lie to everyone -
damn ok i see you Illinois 👀👀👀👀
