2021 Delaware Code
Title 11 - Crimes and Criminal Procedure
Chapter 20. Uniform Electronic Recordation of Custodial Interrogations Act [Effective Aug. 8, 2022].
§ 2008. Exception for safety of individual or protection of identity [Effective Aug. 8, 2022].
A custodial interrogation to which § 2003 of this title otherwise applies need not be recorded electronically if a law-enforcement officer conducting the interrogation or the officer's superior reasonably believes that electronic recording would disclose the identity of a confidential informant or jeopardize the safety of an officer, the individual being interrogated, or another individual. If feasible and consistent with the safety of a confidential informant, an explanation of the basis for the belief that electronic recording would disclose the informant's identity must be in writing at the time of the interrogation. If contemporaneous memorialization of the basis for the belief is not feasible, the memorialization must be made as soon as practicable after the interrogation is completed.
