Providing an electronic copy of the custodial interview to the defendant or youth constitutes compliance with ORS 135.815 (1)(b), and the state is not required to provide the defendant or youth with a transcript of the contents of the custodial interview. Unless the court orders otherwise, the defendant's or youth's attorney may not copy, disseminate or republish the electronic copy of the custodial interview, except to provide a copy to an agent of the defendant's or youth's attorney for the limited purpose of case preparation.(7) An electronic recording of a custodial interview, and any transcription of the recording, that is certified as containing a complete recording, or a complete transcription, of the entirety of the custodial interview, from the advisement of constitutional rights to the conclusion of the custodial interview, is admissible in any preadjudication or post-adjudication hearing for the purpose of establishing the contents of a statement made in the recording and the identity of the person who made the statement, if the statement is otherwise admissible. A certification that complies with this subsection satisfies the requirements of ORS 40.505 and 132.320 for the recording or transcription. This subsection does not prohibit a party from calling a witness to testify regarding the custodial interview.(8) As used in this section: (a) "Custodial interview" means an interview in which the person questioned is in custody and is required to be advised of the person's constitutional rights.(b) "Good cause" includes, but is not limited to, situations in which:(A) The defendant or youth refused, or expressed an unwillingness, to have the custodial interview electronically recorded;(B) The failure to electronically record the custodial interview was the result of equipment failure and a replacement device was not immediately available;(C) The person operating the recording equipment believed, in good faith, that the equipment was recording the custodial interview;(D) Electronically recording the custodial interview would jeopardize the safety of any person or the identity of a confidential informant;(E) Exigent circumstances prevented the recording of the custodial interview; or(F) The person conducting the custodial interview did not possess a wearable video camera to electronically record the custodial interview outside of a law enforcement facility.(c) "Law enforcement facility" means a courthouse, building or premises that is a place of operation for a municipal police department, county sheriff's office or other law enforcement agency at which persons may be detained in connection with a juvenile delinquency petition or criminal charge.(d) "Peace officer" has the meaning given that term in ORS 133.005.(e) "School resource officer" means a peace officer who is assigned to a school.(f) "Special campus security officer" means a special campus security officer described in ORS 352.118.133.402 was enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but was not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 133 or any series therein by legislative action.
