Interrogation Video

The Governator has vetoed SB 511, which would have required video recording of station-house interrogations in violent crime cases. Demian Bulwa reports on this and other bill signings and vetos for the SF Chron. Text of the bill here. Veto message here:

Police interrogations are dynamic processes that require investigators to use acumen, skill and experience to determine which methods of interrogation are best for the situation. This bill would place unnecessary restrictions on police investigators.

Also in the Chron on Cal. bill-signing season, resident contrarian Debra Saunders has this article on the creeping nanny state.
