Lawyers want CPIB included in video-recording pilot programme
Singapore
CRIMINAL lawyers have called for the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) to be included in the pilot programme where investigators will record videos of interviews with suspects when taking statements.
The call follows the Ministry of Home Affairs' (MHA) announcement in late July that the police and the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) will test the use of video recordings during investigations in the first quarter of 2016.
