AB 3021 aimed to stop law enforcement investigators from questioning the families of people killed by police before revealing that their loved one is dead.
A bill to stop law enforcement investigators from questioning the families of people killed by police before revealing their loved one is dead failed when the Democratic-controlled state Senate declined to bring it up for a vote before the legislative year ended on Saturday.
During these interviews, investigators questioned families about a relative’s drug use, alcoholism, gang involvement and mental health issues, encouraging families to answer the questions before telling them their loved one was dead. When some of the families later sued, authorities often used information from those interviews to portray the deceased as mentally ill criminals or deadbeat parents while defending their agencies in court.
