California Cops Banned from Concealing Police Killings
A new California law, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, will put an end to a deceptive policing tactic used against families of people killed by police.
According to a Reveal investigation, this practice involved concealing information about police killings while interrogating loved ones for dirt.
- Investigators must now inform families of what happened to their loved one before questioning them.
- They are barred from lying to families or pressuring them into consenting to interviews.
- Families will be allowed to bring a support person to interviews.
The legislation aims to prevent deceptive policing tactics used for years against families of people killed by police.
