New Jersey A4239 aims to reform motor vehicle stops by law enforcement officers.
New Jersey A4239 seeks to change how law enforcement officers handle motor vehicle stops. The bill prohibits officers from initiating a stop solely for a violation of Title 39 of the Revised Statutes, except in cases posing a risk to public safety. It mandates that citations for such violations be issued by mail instead of requiring an interaction with the driver. The bill also restricts the use of drug-detection canines unless there is suspicion of a controlled substance other than marijuana.
