Myrie Continues Push To Ban Deceptive Police Interrogation Techniques
State Sen. Zellnor Myrie (D-Brownsville, Crown Heights, East Flatbush, Gowanus, Park Slope, Prospect Heights, Prospect Lefferts Gardens, South Slope, Sunset Park) this week continued to push his recently proposed legislation that would ban the use of deceptive police interrogation techniques.
“The fact that it is still legal for the police to lie to people they have in their custody is a disgrace. The legislation we introduced, along with bills introduced by my colleagues that would protect the rights of the justice involved, would help ensure that the tragedy that befell the Exonerated Five never happens again,” said Myrie.
