Kudos to Jennifer Mnookin (and UCLA)

UCLA Law School had the good sense to choose a fine person and a first-rate Evidence scholar as its next dean:

On the recording of confessions

See Jennifer Mnookin's Op-Ed  on the recording of confessions.


Extract:
Supporters of the practice present recordings as a solution for a host of problems, from police misconduct to false confessions. But while there are lots of good reasons to require them, they are hardly a panacea; in fact, the very same qualities that make them useful — their seeming vividness and objectivity — also risk making them misleading, and possibly even an inadvertent tool for injustice. &&& The dynamic evidence page
