Establishes a pilot program to provide law enforcement with advanced drug-detecting technology to improve investigations and reduce false arrests.
The bill establishes a pilot program by the North Carolina Collaboratory to provide law enforcement agencies with new field drug-detecting technology. The program aims to improve controlled substance investigations and reduce the risk of false arrests. The Collaboratory will select participating agencies to be representative of the state, including rural and urban areas and those along major drug-trafficking corridors. The technology must be portable, avoid color-based identification, and support independent audit and evaluation.
