Common use of Admissibility of Evidence Clause in Contracts

Admissibility of Evidence. Any admission or evidence of guilt to a Departmental charge(s) obtained through administrative pressure, coercion, or threat relating to disclosure of a member's personal affairs unrelated to the charge(s) or relating to administrative promise of employment benefit will not be admissible in any subsequent hearing of Departmental charges. However, notification to a member that potential corrective action, including demotion, suspension, or removal, could result if the member continues to refuse to answer questions or cooperate in any internal investigation shall not be construed as administrative pressure, coercion, or threat; a member who gives evidence, testifies in a hearing of Departmental charges or a hearing or trial of criminal charge(s) in return for not charging or for reducing charges against the member who testifies shall not be construed as administrative promise of employment benefit for purposes of this section.
