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.

People who care about justice care. Was that a trick question?

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.
