[inaudible] i think that transition is ultimately going to be hard for certain aspects to the police department? i think we all accept that po

commissioner hamasaki? >> commissioner hamasaki: thank you. director henderson, i just wanted to add something to what commissioner elias said, which is, you know, something that's come up in other jurisdictions relating to or as a measure to decrease these -- [inaudible] >> commissioner hamasaki: -- is one either limiting -- [inaudible]. >> commissioner hamasaki: -- the actual investigation that's conducted as the basis for the stop. so if you're pulled over for swerving late at night, and they smell alcohol, that's a d.u.i. stop as compared to -- yeah. i feel like that's something that just makes sense to take on. it goes to the underlying question about creating division within the black, brown, and marginalized communities -- you know, why am i always being stopped? and so i know other jurisdictions have discussed policies around this. and then, also, the defaults, are you on probation or pa el -- parole, can i search your car based on that? i think there's other things that i have seen other jurisdictions doing. i know that commissioner e
