Let's focus on what truly matters for our community's safety. We, the people, demand CCPSA to advocate for a 3-part policy that ends pretextual traffic stops outright, limit stops for low level traffic violations and end suspicionless consent searches!
Pretextual traffic stops are a waste of department resources with minimal impact on safety outcomes—less than 1% of these stops result in contraband or firearm recovery, 2.2% in arrests, and 3.7% in traffic citations. Meanwhile, CPD's 911 response rate is low.
Pretextual traffic stops have always has been a waste of resources and a new vehicle for stop and frisk. Pretextual Traffic Stops is the new Stop and Frisk! After the police murdered Laquan McDonald in 2014 there was public outcry against the aggressive use of stop and frisk.

Don’t let CPD get distracted! Pretextual traffic stops are a waste of department resources with minimal impact on safety outcomes—less than 1% of these stops result in contraband or firearm recovery, 2.2% in arrests, and 3.7% in traffic citations.
