Crime Intensifies Debate Over Taping of Suspects

Date: April 2, 2007

Authors: Eric Lipton and Jennifer Steinhauer

QUOTE: dispute within the Justice Department over a critical law enforcement question: Should interviews with criminal suspects be tape-recorded? Paul K. Charlton, the United States attorney in Arizona, was ousted after spending months protesting a Federal Bureau of Investigation policy that, for practical purposes, forbids the taping of almost all confessions, in stark contrast to the practice of many local law enforcement agencies in Arizona and other locations across the country.
