Prohibit the detention and transport of suspects in vehicles that are not designed for detaining humans and designated as law enforcement vehicles

SF 3652 would require Minnesota law enforcement agencies to use vehicles specifically designed for safely transporting people when detaining or moving suspects. The bill mandates that such vehicles must be owned or leased by a law enforcement agency, display clear agency markings, and include seats and seat belts for each person transported. Exceptions allow non-compliant vehicles during immediate threats to safety or undercover investigations. This bill directly affects all Minnesota law enforcement agencies responsible for transporting individuals in custody.
