Bill > HB1063

This bill addresses discriminatory profiling and pretextual stops by law enforcement in Indiana. It establishes a comprehensive framework to prevent and address discriminatory practices, including creating a new Discriminatory Profiling Review Commission with 13 members representing diverse community groups. The bill requires law enforcement agencies to adopt policies prohibiting discriminatory profiling and pretextual stops, which are defined as stops based on perceived age, gender, race, or ethnicity, or stops used to investigate unrelated suspected criminal offenses. Law enforcement agencies must now collect and report detailed data about traffic and pedestrian stops, including information about the individuals stopped, search practices, and any force used. The bill also mandates new training for law enforcement officers on cultural diversity and discriminatory practices, and establishes a process for individuals to file complaints and civil actions if they believe they've been subject to discriminatory profiling. Additionally, the bill requires the implementation of body and vehicle cameras with specific activation and usage protocols, ensuring that officers record stops and interactions. The attorney general will be responsible for compiling and publishing annual reports on these stops, with personal identifying information removed to protect individual privacy.
