Maine lawmakers will take testimony Thursday on a bill that aims to curb racial profiling by requiring police agencies to keep demographic data on drivers involved in traffic stops.
The legislation, sponsored by House Assistant Majority Leader Rachel Talbot Ross, D-Portland, is based on recommendations made by Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey. Previous iterations of the bill have met resistance from law enforcement in Maine, including the Maine Sheriffs Association and the Maine State Police.
Katy England, spokeswoman for Maine State Police, declined a request Wednesday for an interview on the new measure, saying the agency did not want to pre-empt lawmakers.
