Technology is cheap enough now to do this cost effectively. Law enforcement would benefit by having a copy of an interrogation to review. Citizens would be protected with access to videos of their interrogation. Who wouldn't like this? Abusive cops.

“Recording an interrogation is the most accurate means of preserving what happened in an interrogation room and what a suspect actually said,” Ellis said in an email.

Texas law already requires in most cases that investigators tape the confession itself. But in the wake of a handful of exonerations involving false confessions, defense attorneys and other advocates worry that without a recording of the entire interrogation, they may never know how a false confession occurred. Nineteen other states and the District of Columbia already require such recordings.
