§22.1-280.2:4. School resource officers; custodial interrogation; parental consent.

A. As used in this section, "custodial interrogation" means any interview of a public elementary or secondary school student conducted by a school resource officer in such circumstances that would lead a reasonable person to consider himself to be in custody associated with arrest and during which the school resource officer takes actions or asks questions that are reasonably likely to elicit responses from the student that could incriminate him.

B. No school resource officer shall conduct a custodial interrogation without the written consent of the student's parent.
