Bill > S2106

This bill aims to ban racial and other forms of profiling by law enforcement entities in Massachusetts. It requires the collection and reporting of data on traffic and pedestrian stops, including information on the reason for the stop, the demographics of those stopped, and whether any enforcement action was taken. The bill also mandates the analysis of this data by an independent organization to assess potential disparities in law enforcement practices. Additionally, it provides individuals charged with a crime the right to access the data collected on the officers involved in their case. The key provisions of this bill are designed to improve transparency and accountability in policing practices across the state.
