AI Summary
This bill aims to prohibit racial and other forms of profiling by law enforcement agencies in Massachusetts. It requires law enforcement agencies to collect and report detailed data on pedestrian stops, frisks, and searches, including the reason for the stop, the demographic characteristics of the individual, and the outcome of the encounter. The bill also mandates the creation of an electronic data collection system, quarterly reviews of stop and search data by police departments, and biennial independent analyses of the data.
