Recording of Interrogations in Iowa
State v. Hajtic held that the court “believe[s] electronic recording, particularly videotaping, of custodial interrogations should be encouraged, and we take this opportunity to do so.” State v. Hajtic, 724 N.W.2d 449, 456 (Iowa 2006). There is no due process or supervisory power ground for the courts statement; this is a mere recommendation by the judiciary that recording of custodial interrogations should be encouraged.
