How will they know that the objection to being recorded wasn't forced? And anything over 1 hour is too long.

All interrogations need to be recorded in full. There is no excuse not to.

How about we use the term 'Police or Suspect Interviews', interrogations has a certain connotation to it..
I also think it should be 'legislated' for all interviews to be recorded for admissibility in line with most countries.

list of exceptions is a bit troubling. A high tech country has malfunctioning equipment? I don't buy that. How many "malfunctions" were reported?
Also a member of a crime syndicate is not recorded? They get a free pass do they?

There is zero reason for police interrogations to not be recorded. There is even less reason for only certain interrogations to be recorded.
It is a repugnant offense to justice that a modern, democratic society fails to take simple steps to ensure the rights of its citizens.
