Ohio lawmakers are considering a bill that would require the recording of all interrogations of individuals in custody who are accused of serious crimes like rape and murder.
Supporters say recording interrogations protects suspects from the use of allegedly false statements made in unrecorded interviews. Backers also say it protects police against allegations of coercion and provides prosecutors accurate evidence to use in a case.
The House-passed bill is now before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Niki Clum is legislative liaison for the Ohio Public Defender. She told the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday that about half of departments record interrogations, a figure she said should be at 100%.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Recording the interrogations of individuals in custody and accused of serious crimes like murder or rape would become mandatory under Ohio legislation now in the state Senate.
Supporters of the bipartisan bill say recording interrogations protects suspects from the use of allegedly false statements made in unrecorded interviews. They also say it protects police against allegations of coercion and provides prosecutors accurate evidence to use in a case.
A 2012 study found that half of departments responding to a survey did not record interrogations, Niki Clum, legislative liaison for the Ohio Public Defender, told the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday, according to Gongwer News Service.
