Support HB 1063: End Discriminatory and Pretextual Stops Now

Support HB 1063: End Discriminatory and Pretextual Stops Now

The Issue

Discriminatory and pretextual stops, where police stop drivers based on trivial or minor infractions as a means to investigate unrelated criminal activity, disproportionately impact communities of color. Studies show that African American and Hispanic drivers are far more likely to be stopped by police compared to white drivers (Source: Bureau of Justice Statistics). HB 1063 aims to curb this discriminatory practice by prohibiting law enforcement officers from conducting certain types of traffic stops, limiting the potential for bias. The passage of HB 1063 is a significant step towards fair and equal treatment of all citizens by the law. But we need your signature now to send a clear message to our policymakers that we demand an end to discriminatory and pretextual stops. Make a stand for equality and justice. Sign this petition to support HB 1063 today.
