California Cops Banned from Concealing Police Killings
A new California law effectively bans a deceptive policing tactic used against families of people killed by police.
Investigators must now inform families of what happened to their loved one before questioning them.
- Investigators are barred from lying to families or pressuring them into consenting to interviews.
- Families can bring a support person to interviews.
A Reveal investigation helped spark a crackdown on this disturbing practice.
