New York S04000 aims to prevent racial profiling in traffic stops by law enforcement officers.
New York S04000 amends the executive law to prohibit racial profiling in traffic stops. It defines racial profiling as the detention or disparate treatment of an individual based solely on their racial or ethnic status. The bill mandates that law enforcement agencies adopt written policies prohibiting stops, detentions, or searches motivated by race, color, ethnicity, age, gender, or sexual orientation. It also requires these agencies to record and report data on traffic stops, including the characteristics of individuals stopped and the outcomes of the stops.
