Now that the law has been amended, removing the word “solely” from the prohibition of racial profiling (clarifying that race can’t be used at all), and finally defining “lawful contact” as “lawful stop, detention or arrest.” 

But this won’t satisfy people for whom the charge of racism is the most useful (and only) argument. They can’t argue the actual law, so they say that officers will manufacture a “pretext” for stopping someone, like having a tail light out. It may surprise these people that having a taillight out is illegal, and for good reason. And you won’t usually get pulled over for it unless it’s dark outside…so the officer has no way of knowing your race until you roll down the window. And since a driver’s license is enough to prove legal presence, legal residents (who are licensed to drive) have nothing to worry about. If you’re not legal or don’t have a license, prepare to spend a couple of hours in police custody…
