Stops for minor traffic infractions lead to unnecessary contact with the criminal legal system. For Black people, that contact isn’t just a nuisance—it’s often traumatic and sometimes deadly.

These types of traffic stops aren’t effective. Nearly all stops, whether in a car or on the street, do not result in the discovery of contraband or weapons. They put communities at risk.
