A 1821 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes database containing information on traffic stops by certain law enforcement officers.

This bill requires New Jersey police departments to submit quarterly reports to the Attorney General about every traffic stop, including the driver's race, age, gender, reason for the stop, whether a search occurred, and outcomes like warnings or arrests. The data will be entered into a public, searchable online database hosted by the Department of Law and Public Safety. The database covers all traffic stops - even those resulting only in oral warnings - and includes details like officer actions, use of force, and geographic location. It applies to all state and local law enforcement agencies in New Jersey, aiming to provide transparency for public oversight of traffic enforcement practices.
