S.B. 16: Require training on police/citizen interactions

[rickt]

Not strictly firearms related but since there is frequent discussions on firearms forums about how police/citizens interactions, some may find this of interest. Basically, the bill requires both LEO and drivers get training on rights and responsibilities during police/citizen interactions. I notice the bill doesn't cover CHLs.

Maybe I should print this and place it in the car for reference if I would ever get pulled over.
