A Failure to Record an Interview at a Police Station

question 8

True/False

A failure to record an interview at a police station will automatically exclude a confession as evidence. Breaches of the Codes of Practice will not automatically exclude a confession. Depending on the gravity of the breach, a confession may be excluded if a number of serious breaches occur. In R v Sparks, failure to record a police interview did not result in oppression or make the confession unrelaible.
