Bill > S3486

This bill mandates the Attorney General to create and maintain a publicly accessible, searchable online database containing detailed information about traffic stops made by State and local law enforcement officers. This database will include driver characteristics like race or ethnicity, approximate age, and gender, and will record every traffic stop, even those resulting only in an oral warning. The information collected will cover the alleged violation, whether a search was conducted (including its basis and any findings), if a citation or warning was issued, any arrests or property seizures, any resistance or use of force by officers, resulting injuries, and the geographic location of the stop. This comprehensive data collection aims to provide greater public oversight of traffic enforcement practices and help prevent discriminatory practices such as racial or gender profiling, with the collected information being subject to disclosure under the open public records act.
