Starting June 8, 2024, Minnesota police cannot ask, "Do you know why I pulled you over?"

Starting June 8, 2024, Minnesota police officers will be prohibited from asking "Do you know why I pulled you over?" during routine traffic stops. This change, negotiated by the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association and Communities United Against Police Brutality, aims to prevent spontaneous confessions and protect drivers' rights. However, the law lacks enforceable consequences for noncompliance, rendering it not officially binding.
