|
traveling

not resulting in
the
issuance of a traffic ticket or the | ||
making of an arrest.

(3) A disparity between the proportion of citations | ||
issued to minorities
and
proportion of minorities in the | ||
population.
| ||
(4) A disparity among the officers of the same law | ||
enforcement agency with
regard to the number of minority | ||
drivers, passengers, or pedestrians being stopped in a | ||
given
area.
| ||
(5) A disparity between the frequency of searches | ||
performed on minority
drivers or pedestrians
and the | ||
frequency of searches performed on non-minority drivers or | ||
pedestrians.
| ||
(f) Any law enforcement officer identification information | ||
and driver or pedestrian
identification information
that is
| ||
compiled by any law enforcement agency or the Illinois | ||
Department of
Transportation
pursuant to this Act for
the | ||
purposes of fulfilling the requirements of this Section shall | ||
be
confidential and exempt

as provided under Section 7 of the Freedom of
Information
Act,
| ||
and the information shall not be transmitted to anyone except | ||
as needed to
comply with
this Section. This Section shall not | ||
exempt those materials that, prior to the
effective date of | ||
this

available under the Freedom
of
Information Act. This subsection | ||
(f) shall not preclude law enforcement agencies from reviewing | ||
