An Act prohibiting profiling of motorcyclists and motorcycle-only checkpoints

This bill prohibits law enforcement officers and agencies in Massachusetts from establishing or conducting checkpoints that target only motorcyclists. It defines motorcyclist profiling as using a person's motorcycle use or gear as a reason to stop, question, arrest, or search them without an independent legal basis. To support these changes, the legislation requires the criminal justice training commission to include motorcycle profiling issues in law enforcement training and mandates that local agencies add a statement condemning such profiling to their existing policies.
