Movement for increased recording of interrogations in the US Currently, there is a movement for mandatory electronic recording of all custodial interrogations in the United States. [2] "Electronic Recording" describes the process of recording interrogations from start to finish. This is in contrast to a "taped" or "recorded confession," which typically only includes the final statement of the suspect. "Taped interrogation" is the traditional term for this process; however, as analog is becoming less and less common, statutes and scholars are referring to the process as "electronically recording" interviews or interrogations. Alaska, [3] Illinois, [4] Maine, [5], Minnesota, [6] and Wisconsin [7] are the only states to require taped interrogation. New Jersey’s taping requirement started on January 1, 2006. [8] [9] Massachusetts allows jury instructions that state that the courts prefer taped interrogations. See Commonwealth v. DiGiambattista, 813 N.E.2d 516, 533-34 (Mass. 2004). Commander Neil Nelson of the St. Paul Police Department, an expert in taped interrogation, [10] has described taped interrogation in Minnesota as the "best thing ever rammed down our throats." [11]
