1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Corey Jones Act . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Corey Jones of Lake Worth, Florida, was shot and killed by a plainclothes law enforcement officer operating an unmarked vehicle on October 18, 2015. (2) Mr. Jones was legally and peacefully pulled to the side of the road while he awaited roadside assistance at approximately 3:00 in the morning because his car had broken down. (3) While Mr. Jones awaited roadside assistance, he was approached by a law enforcement officer driving an unmarked van and dressed in plainclothes. (4) Mr. Jones would not have had any reasonable reason to believe that the person in plainclothes driving the unmarked vehicle was a law enforcement officer. (5) Any confusion as to the nature of the law enforcement officer’s interaction with Mr. Jones could likely have been avoided had a uniformed officer in a marked vehicle been called to the scene. (6) Tragic incidents like the death of Mr. Jones can easily be avoided by prohibiting law enforcement officers in plainclothes or law enforcement officers in plainclothes and unmarked vehicles from engaging in routine traffic stops. 3. Ensuring the safety of the public and law enforcement officers during routine traffic stops involving unmarked vehicles and plainclothes officers (a) Certification required Section 1702 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 ( 42 U.S.C. 3796dd–1 ) is amended— (1) in subsection (c)— (A) in paragraph (10), by striking and at the end; (B) in paragraph (11), by striking the period and inserting ; and at the end; and (C) by adding at the end the following: (12) certify that no law enforcement agency that will receive grant funds from the applicant allows law enforcement officers to engage in routine traffic stops while in plainclothes or while in plainclothes and in a police vehicle that is unmarked or that otherwise is not clearly identified as a police vehicle.
