New York A07181 aims to prevent racial profiling in traffic stops by law enforcement.

New York A07181 amends the executive law to define "racial profiling" as the detention or disparate treatment of an individual based solely on their racial or ethnic status. It prohibits law enforcement from using race or ethnicity as the sole factor in determining probable cause for arrest or detention. Municipal police departments, sheriff's offices, and the division of state police must adopt policies prohibiting stops based on race or ethnicity, record relevant data, and report to the division of criminal justice services.
