AI Summary

This bill aims to ban racial and other profiling by law enforcement entities in Massachusetts. It requires the collection and reporting of detailed data on traffic and pedestrian stops, including the reason for the stop, the demographics of those involved, and whether any investigatory actions were taken. The bill also provides for biennial independent analysis of the collected data to assess potential disparities in law enforcement practices. It grants individuals charged with a crime the right to obtain data related to the stop or search that led to the charges, and empowers the Attorney General to enforce the provisions of the bill through civil lawsuits.
