Signed on July 15, the law makes Illinois the first state in America to make the deceptive tactic illegal. Police officers in Illinois may no longer fake evidence or provide false promises to children under 18 years old who are brought in for questioning, especially juvenile suspects, to make them confess. If the confession was drawn out through deceptive tactics, it would become "inadmissible as evidence." The bill, deliberated in April and May 2021, had bipartisan support at the House and the Senate.
