Bill Summary
This bill would require the Attorney General to establish a public, searchable database of information pertaining to traffic law enforcement by State and local law enforcement officers. The information entered in the database will include the driver's identifying characteristics, such as race or ethnicity, approximate age, and gender and will pertain to all interactions with traffic law enforcement, even those stops that result only in an oral warning. The wide range of specific information contained within this database will allow for increased public oversight of traffic law enforcement practices by providing a tool to prevent pernicious enforcement of these laws, including racial and gender profiling.
