These State Laws Don’t Care What The Federal Government Decides

New Traffic Stop Instructions In State Driver’s Handbooks

After the recent deaths of civilians during routine traffic stops, the people of North Carolina felt like something needed to be done in order to ensure the safety of their citizens and to reduce misunderstandings between drivers and law enforcement. The state’s driver’s handbook will now give instructions on how to deal with police during a traffic stop. According to Sarah Gillooly, policy director for the ACLU, “It’s important for North Carolinians to know what police are going to expect from them, but it’s equally important that people know their rights when stopped by police.”
