Arrest, summons, etc., quotas; prohibition; civil penalty. Provides that any person employed by a law-enforcement agency or any agency or department employing law-enforcement officers who implements a formal or informal quota for arrests made, summonses issued, traffic stops conducted, warnings given, or commercial motor vehicle safety inspections performed is subject to a $10,000 civil penalty for each offense and if such formal or informal quota involves threats, intimidation, coercion, or modification of working conditions to subordinate officers, such employee is subject to a $25,000 civil penalty for each offense. The bill also prohibits a law-enforcement agency or any agency or department employing law-enforcement officers from posting data regarding the number of arrests, summonses, traffic stops, warnings, or commercial motor vehicle safety inspections for the purpose of creating competition between officers with respect to arrests, summonses, traffic stops, warnings given, or commercial motor vehicle safety inspections. Current law prohibits formal and informal quotas for the number of arrests made and summonses issued within a designated period of time and allows agencies to use such information for any purpose other than as a quota.

Arrest, summons, etc.; formal and informal quotas, prohibition, civil penalty.
