[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3965640, member: 44288"] Not a law yet but the way the legislature out there is going I think they are trying to out California, California. [HEADING=2]Bill Would Prohibit Washington Cops From Stopping Drivers For Most Misdemeanor Warrants, ‘Nonmoving’ Traffic Violations[/HEADING] [URL unfurl="true"]https://policetribune.com/bill-would-prohibit-washington-cops-from-stopping-drivers-for-most-misdemeanor-warrants-nonmoving-traffic-violations/[/URL] Proponents of [URL='https://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2023-24/Pdf/Bills/House%20Bills/1513.pdf?q=20230131101120']House Bill 1513[/URL], dubbed the “Traffic Safety For All” bill, claim the proposed law change would increase public safety and combat racial inequalities, according to [URL='https://www.king5.com/article/news/politics/state-politics/washington-state-house-bill-1513-traffic-stops-fatalities-racial-equity/281-89036c2b-51a6-4ded-aa60-b0ce24732aca']KING[/URL]. The bill would block police from stopping drivers for most misdemeanor warrants, “nonmoving” violations like broken headlights, expired vehicle registration, or for other equipment failures that might not pose an imminent threat to safety on the roadway.
