data on traffic stops
This should be a section talking about how states and cities collect data.


 * Stanford Open Policing
 * Police Data Initiative

Nine states currently require police to report information on all their traffic stops, including the race or ethnicity of the drivers.


 * Connecticut
 * Illinois
 * North Carolina
 * Missouri
 * Texas

California is phasing in by 2023 - is data available only on city portals? For example: Sacramento, San Deigo, San Francisco, etc.

TODO: figure out what are the other three states
