While I haven't read the actual wording of the proposed bill, in general, addressing this is a very good idea. There are simply too many examples of police manipulation of vulnerable people during questioning. In fact, the police routinely get trained on how to manipulate and coerce people during questioning because they consider it so "effective" (from the perspective of their metrics). The odd thing is that most often it's not even necessary. Thanks to TV shows, movies, books and a handful of rare cases which get featured in the media, people assume a significant number of police questionings are like some cagey chess match with a criminal mastermind. In reality the vast majority of criminal suspects brought in for questioning are caught red-handed or with strong evidence of guilt. Because of this most convictions are plea bargains and the few convicted at trial are not close judgements. If we strengthen these protections, IMHO, it will change the conviction rates very, very little.
