California legislation on policing

California's legislation on policing focuses on increasing accountability, transparency, and community trust. Key laws include requiring body cameras for officers, establishing oversight boards to review misconduct, and implementing stricter use-of-force standards. The legislation promotes de-escalation training and limits certain searches and arrests to protect citizens’ rights. Additionally, it emphasizes data collection on police activities to identify disparities and improve practices. These measures aim to ensure that policing is fair, transparent, and accountable to the communities they serve, balancing law enforcement needs with residents’ civil rights.
