What the hell. They already have the 3rd highest crime rate. Who cares???

I would think the under age arrestees and their loved ones care. 😛

@FearlessFly I don’t know. Given the gang violence and the 12 year olds shooting people; I think it’s safe to say that their family and loved ones (the gang) really doesn’t give two shits.

Eliciting false confessions increases crime rates, so that’s exactly why they care. So the real criminals can be caught, not confused, intimidated minors.

@NJSnarky Let them have absolutely everything they’ve voted for. Hope they enjoy it.

I find it appalling that such a law even needs to exist. Any cop that engages in such dirty tactics should be fired immediately.

Should be fired? It’s a tactic they are taught to use. Where it is legal So now they will be told not to lie, but insinuation and suggestion are maybe legal? Eg: “What if I told you we had a witness……”vs. “We have a witness…”

@NJSnarky You raise an excellent point.
