Proposal to End Racial Profiling

A new proposal to stop racial profiling among law enforcement is on the table. Four house democrats and State Representative Tyrone Brooks of Atlanta are sponsoring the measure. If passed, the new law would require annual training programs to teach police officers not to use race or ethnicity as a reason to stop a vehicle. If an officer is suspected of racial profiling, they have to re-take the course.
