Starting next month, police officers in California cannot ask drivers a popular traffic stop question: "Do you know why I pulled you over?"

Officers must now state why the stop was conducted before asking other questions. The law, which takes effect on Jan. 1, 2024, also applies to stops on pedestrians.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom approved the Assembly bill in the fall of 2022.

The only time officers are not required to state the reason for a traffic or pedestrian stop is if the officer decides it is necessary “to protect life or property from imminent threat.”

The law aims to reduce “pretextual stops,” which is when an officer stops a vehicle or pedestrian for a minor offense with the intent of conducting a search to determine if a larger offense has been committed, according to FOX40.

It also is expected to de-escalate interactions between police and civilian

The bill's author, Assemblymember Chris Holden, said the bill will help to “promote equity and accountability in communities" in a legislative committee hearing.

Law enforcement agencies are also required to monitor compl

Ok

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

They need to eliminate the "routine stop" excuse
Nothing routine about stopping a nikka who hasn't broken any traffic laws

This is a start. I was pulled over in a coastal town in California, the reason the cop pulled me over was for a headlight not working. What I didn't understand is why he needed my Driver License to tell me that I needed it fixed. It unnecessary to ask for it, especially since the stop has nothing to do with a traffic violation.

When cops have asked me this I always say no. And when they say do you know you were "speeding" or "Rolled a stop sign" i still say O i didn't know I did that

If anyone has any issues with this you should automatically know they are either a dumbass or racist.

There’s no way to get around the ID thing. They need to know who you are.

Facts

What's the purpose of these guessing games? Just tell people why they were pulled over from the jump.

Whenever I hear a cop ask me that, I automatically assume they're fishing for some type of confession.

America is governed by cops.

Lotta innocent black people are going to die due to that loophole

A cop asked me when was the last time I did drugs...

That shyt had me boiling on the inside.

I just calmly replied that I don't do drugs and he dropped it. I'm sure he was expecting me to go off.
