AI Summary
This bill requires law enforcement officers in Delaware to record specific details about traffic stops in the Delaware Criminal Justice Information System (DELJIS), a statewide criminal justice database. When an officer conducts a traffic stop under Title 21 or Title 30, they must document the time, date, and location of the stop, the primary reason for the stop, and the reason for the stop that was communicated to the driver. The bill also grants the Statistical Analysis Center access to this collected data for the purpose of public reporting, oversight, and analysis of traffic stop practices. By mandating this detailed documentation, the bill aims to increase transparency and provide insights into law enforcement's traffic stop procedures. The new law will take effect 60 days after its enactment, giving law enforcement agencies time to update their reporting processes and systems to comply with the new requirements.
