A.G. File No. 2006-041

Recording Peace Officer Contact/Search

January 26, 2007

 


This measure requires that, anytime a peace officer makes contact with or searches a person within the state, the peace officer must record the event with an electronic device that can provide an audio and visual reproduction of the event. This provision would apply to all pending trials where, since January 1, 1996, contact with or a search by a peace officer led to subsequent criminal charges.
