California Racial and Identity Profiling Act

The California Racial and Identity Profiling Act is a law aimed at reducing discriminatory practices by law enforcement. It requires police agencies to collect data on stops, searches, and arrests to identify potential biases based on race, ethnicity, or other identities. The data must be publicly reported, promoting transparency and accountability. The goal is to ensure fair treatment for all individuals, regardless of their background, and to address any patterns of profiling that may exist within law enforcement practices. This law seeks to foster trust between communities and police.
