2 adding Article 106F.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is
6 amended by adding Article 106F as follows:
7 (725 ILCS 5/Art. 106F heading new)
8 ARTICLE 106F. VIDEOTAPE OF INTERROGATIONS
9 (725 ILCS 5/106F-5 new)
10 Sec. 106F-5. Videotape of interrogations of suspects.
11 (a) A peace officer who interrogates a person suspected
12 of committing an offense must videotape the interrogation and
13 must inform the suspect that the interrogation is being
14 videotaped.
15 (b) The videotape is admissible in court in a
16 prosecution of the suspect for an offense if the suspect
17 confesses to the offense or otherwise makes an admission that
18 may be used in a prosecution of the suspect for the offense
19 and if the suspect recants his or her confession or
20 contradicts any admission made to a peace officer.
21 (c) The failure of a peace officer to videotape the
22 interrogation of a person suspected of an offense renders any
23 confession or other admission made by the suspect
24 inadmissible in any trial of the suspect for the offense for
25 which the suspect has confessed or made an admission.
26 (d) The Department of State Police shall make grants
27 available to local law enforcement agencies, from
28 appropriations made to it, for the purpose of purchasing
29 videotape equipment.
