Ending Racial and Religious Profiling by Police: New Rules and Data Collection.
This law establishes a federal prohibition on law enforcement agencies profiling citizens based on race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation during routine stops. It grants individuals the right to file civil lawsuits against agencies engaging in discriminatory practices to seek injunctive relief. Furthermore, police agencies must collect and publish data on stops and searches, significantly increasing transparency and aiming to eliminate disparities.
