Why should you not use a digital recorder for making notes?

It is not allowed by law
It is unreliable due to potential malfunctions
It makes the witness uncomfortable
It is too complicated to use

The correct answer is: It is unreliable due to potential malfunctions

A digital recorder should not be used for making notes because it can be unreliable due to potential malfunctions. This means that the recorder could fail to capture important information or could produce poor quality recordings, which would make it difficult for you to accurately recall and use the recorded notes later on. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not provide a valid reason for avoiding the use of a digital recorder. Recording notes is not illegal (option A), it does not necessarily make the witness uncomfortable (option C), and it may not be too complicated to use (option D) depending on the specific model and features of the digital recorder.
