ALASKA
In Stephan v. State, 711 P.2d 1156, 1162 (Alaska 1985), the
Supreme Court held that the Alaska Constitution's Due Process
Clause requires law enforcement officers to record custodial
interrogations that occur at a police station whenever recording
is feasible. The unexcused failure to record a statement will
result in its exclusion as evidence. Later cases have fleshed out
various aspects of this rule.
I am told that the Alaska police have complied with the
Supreme Court's rulings.
