Relates to motorcycle profiling
S 6601 requires New York municipal police departments to address motorcycle profiling in officer training and update their policies. It mandates basic law enforcement training to cover motorcycle profiling and requires departments to add a policy statement condemning it to existing profiling policies. The bill defines "motorcycle profiling" as illegally using a person's motorcycle riding or related gear as a reason for stops, searches, or arrests without legal justification. This directly affects all local police agencies and their training programs in New York State.
