The goal of the proposal was to cut back on racial bias in policing, which has been drawing lots of comments and concerns.
One thing that would have been limited, is what are called pretextual traffic stops.That's when officers pull drivers over for minor infractions -- like a broken taillight or expired registration tags -- as a way to ask more questions and check for possible criminal activity.
"The intention is to reduce racial bias in traffic stops. That's the goal we all have," said Commissioner Walker. "Black San Franciscans are seven times more likely than Whites to be stopped," said Phelicia Jones. She's with wealth and disparities in the Black community. "I think there are more important things we have to get to in the business of stopping racial profiling. Here in San Francisco among San Francisco Police Department," said Jones. "The DOJ came here in 2016 and acknowledged there was bias in these things and this is what they need to be working on, and which they have not."
