Do you know why I pulled you over?” – police officers in California won’t be asking that question starting next year.

A new state law that goes into effect Jan. 1st will require officers to disclose the purpose of a traffic stop before asking any questions.

City lawmakers say it’s meant to “promote equity and accountability” between police and civilians.
