AI Summary

This bill prohibits law enforcement from establishing or conducting "motorcycle-only" checkpoints. It also requires the criminal justice training commission to address motorcycle profiling in law enforcement training and for local agencies to add a statement condemning motorcycle profiling to their existing profiling policies. Motorcycle profiling is defined as the illegal use of the fact that a person rides a motorcycle or wears motorcycle-related gear as a basis to stop, question, take enforcement action, arrest, or search a person or vehicle, without an otherwise legal justification under the U.S. or Massachusetts constitutions.
