Help Protect the Innocent in New Hampshire - Innocence Project In New Hampshire, recording interrogations provides a safeguard against wrongful convictions. Sign this petition to support passing HB 1236.

In New Hampshire, law enforcement interrogations are not legally required to be recorded, leaving innocent people more vulnerable to wrongful convictions based on false confessions.
