Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on Thursday signed the nation’s first law banning law enforcement from lying and deploying other deceptive practices when interrogating minors.
The ban, which goes into effect Jan. 1, prohibits tactics like falsely promising leniency and claiming that incriminating evidence exists when it does not. It shows the state’s recognition of the “need to change laws that have failed the people they serve,” he said.
