New public safety laws in California have come into effect, requiring law enforcement officers to inform drivers why they have been stopped before questioning. The California Highway Patrol will launch an emergency system called Ebony Alerts. Reports indicate that Black people accounted for nearly 13% of traffic stops in California in 2022, despite making up only 5% of the state's population, revealing a pervasive pattern of racial profiling. A state group is advocating for changes in police stop procedures, while a police union argues that the report doesn't show the complete picture.
