The bill would
- Require law enforcement agencies within the Department of Justice (DOJ) to record all interviews of U.S. citizens who are suspected of committing a crime
- Require DOJ to preserve recordings for 10 years after an investigation or final court proceeding is completed
- Prevent information obtained in unrecorded interviews from being used as evidence in a court proceeding
Estimated budgetary effects would mainly stem from
- Hiring additional personnel to upload, maintain, and review recordings and facilitate sharing of evidence as part of the discovery process
- Procuring body-worn cameras and associated hardware and software for recording and storing data
Areas of significant uncertainty include
- Predicting how DOJ would implement the bill
- Projecting the bill’s effects on the number, duration, and complexity of charges pursued for litigation
