individual solely on the basis of the racial or ethnic status of

such individual.

B. No officer of any municipal, county or state law enforcement

agency shall engage in racial profiling.

C. The race or ethnicity of an individual shall not be the sole

factor in determining the existence of probable cause to take into

custody or to arrest an individual or in constituting a reasonable

and articulable suspicion that an offense has been or is being

committed so as to justify the detention of an individual or the

investigatory stop of a motor vehicle.

D. A violation of this section shall be a misdemeanor.

E. Every municipal, county, and state law enforcement agency

shall adopt a detailed written policy that clearly defines the

elements constituting racial profiling. Each agency’s policy shall

ethnicity. The policy shall be available for public inspection

during normal business hours.

F. If the investigation of a complaint of racial profiling

reveals the officer was in direct violation of the law enforcement

agency’s written policy regarding racial profiling, the employing

law enforcement agency shall take appropriate action consistent with

applicable laws, rules, ordinances or policy.
