re: #139 sagehen

It’s a state-by-state thing, with a couple of dozen states requiring exactly that. (In New York, this law has only been in effect since 2018)

“Homocide: Life In The Street” had a very good episode regarding interrogations based around the character filming a documentary in the department and a sort of 4th-wall breaking approach where the detectives where talking about interrogation stuff directly to the camera (implying they were being filmed by the guy doing the documentary).

And they pretty much make it clear that the police officers are *not* on your side if you are in that room being asked questions.
