Whereas motorcycle profiling means the illegal use of the fact 
that a person rides a motorcycle or wears motorcycle re-
lated apparel as a factor in deciding to stop and question, 
take enforcement action, arrest, or search a person or ve-
hicle with or without legal basis under the Constitution 
of the United States; 
Whereas complaints surrounding motorcycle profiling have 
been cited in all 50 States;

motorcycle profiling have been held in multiple States;

stating that the criminal justice training commission 
shall ensure that issues related to motorcycle profiling 
are addressed in basic law enforcement training and of-
fered to in-service law enforcement officers in conjunction 
with existing training regarding profiling; 
Whereas reported incidents of motorcycle profiling have 
dropped approximately 90 percent in the State of Wash-
ington since the 2011 legislation was signed into law; and 
Whereas in the spring of 2016, Maryland became the second 
State to pass a law addressing the issue of motorcycle 
profiling: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) promotes increased public awareness on the 
issue of motorcycle profiling;
