As of midyear 1999, 9 of the Nation's 49 State law enforcement agencies whose primary duties include highway patrol reported requiring officers to record demographic information on the driver or passengers for all traffic stops. Thirtyone State agencies reported collecting specifically racial or ethnic data on drivers who receive traffic-related citations. In recent years several States have mandated that State police collect demographic information on stopped motorists. California requires that highway patrol officers assigned to drug interdiction duties record the drivers ethnicity when a stop occurs. As of January 2000, State police officers for North Carolina and Connecticut are required to register demographic information during all traffic stops. Other Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies are at various stages of instituting policies to collect data from motorist encounters.
