This bill would further increase the administrative obligations of the Office of the Attorney General for the review of reports and the reporting of findings related to searches and detentions subsequent to traffic stops by law enforcement officers. This bill would further increase the administrative obligations of ALEA and APOSTC for the review of reports related to injuries of law enforcement officers in the line of duty and will also increase the obligations of state and local law enforcement agencies related to the additional record keeping and reporting requirements of the bill.
