NY S04149

Expands mandatory video recording of interrogations from only custodial interrogations at detention facilities for serious felonies to all interrogations where a public servant suspects the person committed a crime under investigation

Eliminates the previous "good cause" exceptions that allowed unrecorded interrogations (equipment malfunction, spontaneous statements, suspect refusal, etc.)

Requires courts to exclude unrecorded confessions, admissions, or other statements from evidence at trial or pretrial hearings, replacing the previous standard where failure to record was merely one factor in determining admissibility

Extends the same video recording requirements to interrogations of juveniles in family court proceedings, requiring recordings where public servants suspect a child committed an act that would be a crime if committed by an adult

Takes effect 90 days after becoming law
