SACRAMENTO—Senate Bill 1389, authored by Sen. Steve Bradford (D-Inglewood), would prohibit law enforcement officers from pulling over vehicles for a low-level infraction without a separate, independent basis to initiate the stop.
In the bill, introduced in February and approved by the senate appropriations committee May 19, such infractions would be not having an up-to-date vehicle registration, a license plate that is not fully secured, and a broken tail light.
