Police confessions are inadmissible against accused persons, preserving evidentiary limits on the use of criminal proof.
Confessions made to a police officer cannot be proved against a person accused of an offence.

The provision addresses admissibility in relation to proof against the accused, while statements made to a police officer during investigation are separately associated with the procedural treatment of investigative statements.
