West Virginia's MetroNews reports that the WVU Law Innocence Project is "pushing legislation at the capitol which would require all police interrogations to be video recorded. Supporters of the bill believe it will reduce the chances of false confessions and ultimately false convictions."
Recording confessions is now considered a best practice to prevent innocent people from falsely confessing to crimes they didn't commit or being wrongfully convicted of crimes they didn't commit.
West Virginia has passed legislation establishing protocols to ensure investigating officers don't influence witnesses during lineups, MetroNews also reported.
