Connecticut Racial Profiling Prohibition Project (CTRP3)

Taking Action- What Can You Do?

Racial Profiling Is Against the Law!

The Alvin W. Penn Racial Profiling Prohibition Act (Connecticut General Statutes Sections 54-1l and 54-1m) prohibits any law enforcement agency from stopping, detaining, or searching any motorist when the stop is motivated solely by considerations of the race, color, ethnicity, age, gender or sexual orientation.

Further, this law allows any motor vehicle operator who feels that he or she has been stopped solely due to one of these considerations to file a formal complaint.

If you feel that you are the victim of racial profiling, please click here for more information.

Starting on October 1, 2013 all motorists will receive a notice from law enforcement during a traffic stop informing them of their right to file a complaint. The notice is below.

If you were stopped by law enforcement after October 1, 2013, please take our survey to inform the project staff if you received a notice of motorist rights.
