Help End Pretexutal Stops in Los Angeles

In May, the City Council voted unanimously to ban pretextual traffic stops by the LAPD. Pretextual stops are when officers use a minor violation, like a broken taillight, as an excuse to go on a fishing expedition for evidence of a more serious crime. LAPD’s data shows that most of these traffic stops occur in South LA, and 86% of pretextual stops are of Black and Brown drivers. Now we need the Board of Police Commissioners to formally adopt this policy; your public voice is essential to ensure we bring an end to these racially-biased forms of policing.

Show up to the Board of Police Commissioners and use your public comment to urge them to formally adopt this policy!
