Which of the following is NOT listed as a method to document interviews and interrogations?

• A. Audio recorders
• B. Verbal confession
• C. Video videotape
• D. Note taking

Answer: (B)

Documenting interviews and interrogations is about creating a clear, objective record of what happened and what was said. Audio recording, video recording, and note-taking are standard ways to capture that record because they preserve both content and manner of questioning. A verbal confession, on the other hand, is the actual statement given by a person; it’s the result of the interrogation rather than a method used to document the process. While a confession may be used as evidence, it doesn’t serve as a documentation technique for the questioning itself. Hence, a verbal confession is not listed as a method to document interviews and interrogations.
