Failed·4/17/26
Introduced Text

LB222 amends Nebraska law to restrict when peace officers can stop and detain vehicle operators.

LB222 changes the conditions under which peace officers in Nebraska can stop and detain vehicle operators. It prohibits stops or detentions unless there is an immediate, serious threat to safety or the officer has reasonable suspicion of an independent criminal offense. It also requires officers to inform operators of the reason for the stop or detention and prohibits them from questioning operators or passengers about vehicle sales or wrecking. Evidence obtained during illegal stops or detentions is inadmissible in court.
