Establish enforceable protections against profiling to prevent police from intervening in civilian lives for no reason other than the “suspicion” of their blackness or other aspects of their identity. This should include:
- immigration status, age, housing status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, disability, HIV status, race, religion and national origin as protected groups
- the right for people to seek court orders to stop police departments from profiling bans on both intentional profiling and practices that have a disparate impact on protected groups
- ban stops for “furtive” movements such as a reaching for waistband or acting nervous
- ban stops for being in a high-crime area
- ban stops for matching a generalized description of a suspect (i.e. black male ages 15-25)
- require officers to establish objective justification for making a stop and to report every stop including location, race, gender, whether force was used and whether a firearm was found.
- end the use of predictive policing technology, which uses systematically biased data to enhance police profiling of black people and communities
- prohibit police departments from using resources to investigate, interrogate, detain, detect, report, or arrest persons for immigration enforcement purposes.
- prohibit police departments from transferring an individual to federal immigration authorities for purposes of immigration enforcement.
- prohibit officers from being placed under the supervision of federal agencies or deputized as special federal officers or special federal deputies.
