Bill 117 H.Res. 366, also known as the "Promoting awareness of motorcyclist profiling" bill, aims to address the issue of motorcyclist profiling by law enforcement officials. The bill seeks to raise awareness about this issue and encourage collaboration and communication between the motorcycle community and law enforcement in order to prevent instances of profiling.
Motorcyclist profiling refers to the practice of law enforcement officers targeting individuals who are riding motorcycles based solely on their appearance or the type of vehicle they are operating. This can lead to unfair treatment and discrimination against motorcyclists.
The bill recognizes that motorcyclists have the same rights as other road users and should not be subjected to discriminatory practices. It calls for increased training for law enforcement officers to help them better understand the rights of motorcyclists and to prevent profiling from occurring.
Additionally, the bill encourages the motorcycle community to work with law enforcement officials to foster better communication and collaboration. By working together, both groups can address any misunderstandings or biases that may exist and work towards creating a safer and more inclusive environment for all road users.
Overall, Bill 117 H.Res. 366 is a step towards promoting awareness of motorcyclist profiling and fostering positive relationships between the motorcycle community and law enforcement officials. By addressing this issue, the bill aims to create a more equitable and respectful environment for all individuals on the road.
