=== Illinois === On April 18, 2003, the Illinois State Senate passed a bill that mandates Illinois law enforcement to maintain racial statistics regarding traffic stops. The bill originally mandated the statistics-keeping to continue until 2007, but the bill was extended and traffic stop statistics will continue to be maintained indefinitely.<ref>[https://idot.illinois.gov/transportation-system/local-transportation-partners/law-enforcement/illinois-traffic-stop-study "Illinois Traffic Stop Study"]. ''idot.illinois.gov''. Retrieved 2017-03-14.</ref> An ACLU analysis of the 2013 Illinois traffic stop report found that African Americans and Latinos are "twice as likely" to be pulled over by police even though whites were more likely to have been discovered with contraband in their car.<ref>[http://www.aclu-il.org/traffic-stop-data-shows-persistent-patterns-of-racial-bias-according-to-new-report/ "Traffic stop data shows persistent patterns of racial bias, according to new report Β« American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois"].
