The New York State Bar Association welcomes New York City's plan to expand videotaping of criminal investigations.

In 2004, the State Bar Association's house of delegates urged the state legislature to enact a law requiring the videotaping of custodial interrogations.

In 2009, the state bar's task force on wrongful convictions recommended the videotaping of custodial interrogations to ensure that innocent suspects were not improperly coerced to make false confessions and to support the validity of confessions by guilty suspects.
