20-0875 AD HOC COMMITTEE ON UNARMED CRISIS PREVENTION, INTERVENTION, AND COMMUNITY SERVICES REPORT and TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT relative to self-enforcing infrastructure and Mobility Plan 2035 for the Traffic Enforcement Alternatives Project. AD HOC COMMITTEE ON UNARMED CRISIS PREVENTION, INTERVENTION, AND COMMUNITY SERVICES Recommendations for Council action: REQUEST the Board of Police Commissioners (BOPC) to amend Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Department Manual Section 1/240.06, entitled Policy – Limitation on Use of Pretextual Stops, to replace the existing limitation policy with strengthened guidance and additional prohibitions to ensure fair treatment and efficient deployment of resources. The updated policy should include the following: Prohibit all pretextual stops and detentions that result from pretextual stops of motorists and cyclists, except in cases where the violation poses a significant and imminent safety risk. Prohibit consent-based searches of persons, vehicles, or personal effects during pretextual traffic stops. This prohibition does not apply to searches supported by a valid warrant, probable cause, or other lawful justifications independent of consent. Ensure compliance with California Assembly Bill (AB) 2773 by requiring officers to clearly articulate the reason for the stop on Body-Worn Video (BWV) before commencing any questioning. Officers should thoroughly record, both visibly and audibly, any reasonable suspicion that develops after the initial stop. Ensure proper compliance and the implementation of AB 2147 (2022) to prevent racial bias in stops of pedestrians. Report back, with the assistance of the City Attorney, on the process and the necessary steps to implement a mail-based notification system that would allow certain traffic violations, allowing vehicle owners to receive violations by mail in lieu of an officer-initiated stop. Under this framework, the vehicle owner would still be responsible for correcting or otherwise remedying the violation. The report should outline any moving, equipment, and non-moving violations eligible for mail-in enforcement. Affirm LAPD’s authority to conduct stops for traffic violations that endanger public safety and for reasonable and articulable suspicion of crimes. REQUEST the Office of Inspector General to monitor LAPD Traffic Stop Data, incorporating findings from the Audit Division’s quarterly AB 2773 compliance audits and the Stops Review Pilot Program, and provide semi-annual reports to the Council on the effectuation of this policy, including analyzing the feasibility of updating LAPD’s public traffic dashboard to distinctly track and display pretextual stop data. NOTE and FILE reports from the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA), BOPC, and Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) attached to this Council File. TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE SUBMITS WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION the following recommendations: REQUEST the Board of Police Commissioners (BOPC) to amend Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Department Manual Section 1/240.06, entitled Policy – Limitation on Use of Pretextual Stops, to replace the existing limitation policy with strengthened guidance and additional prohibitions to ensure fair treatment and efficient deployment of resources.
