Relating to preventing racial profiling and to video and audio equipment and recordings of certain law enforcement motor vehicle stops; authorizing a fee; creating a criminal offense.

SB 2557 requires Texas law enforcement agencies to adopt written policies preventing racial profiling and governing the use of video/audio recording during motor vehicle stops. These policies must specify when officers must activate recording equipment, mandate 90-day retention of recordings, ensure secure data storage, allow public access via open records requests, and include procedures for internal review and equipment handling. Officers who do not activate recording equipment during stops must document a reasonable justification (e.g., safety concerns), and the policy must align with state and federal evidence rules. The bill creates a criminal offense for violating the racial profiling prohibition, directly affecting all Texas law enforcement agencies and peace officers.
