No influence to be used to induce disclosure

No promise, threat or any other influence may be used to make an accused person disclose or withhold any matter within his knowledge, except where sections 306 and 307 allow otherwise. Such coercion is prohibited and cannot be relied on to obtain or suppress statements.

Rohan is arrested for alleged theft. A police officer promises he will arrange immediate bail if Rohan reveals where the stolen goods are hidden. The officer cannot use that promise or any threat to induce Rohan to disclose or withhold the information; such inducement is not permitted.
