Traffic Stop Data

Traffic stop data refers to records and statistics related to encounters between law enforcement officers and drivers. This data typically includes information such as the reason for the stop, the location, the demographic information of the driver, and the outcome of the stop (e.g., warnings, citations, or arrests). Analyzing this data helps in understanding patterns in policing, such as potential biases or disparities in how different groups are treated. It is often used to improve transparency, ensure accountability, and promote fair policing practices within communities.
