The Toronto Police Services Board has voted unanimously to rescind the latest carding policy in favour of returning to a previous one until the province introduces regulations in the fall.
Carding, a controversial practice that involves police officers stopping and recording a person's information to be stored in a database, has been on hold since January.
Mayor John Tory at first supported the practice, then vowed two weeks ago to abolish it completely and now is amending the practice.
The changes the board has approved include officers issuing receipts to those they stop and whose information they record and advising community members they have no legal obligation to stop and talk to police.
Chief Mark Saunders says he will implement the policy in the interim, but will also wait to see what the province wants to do over the long term.
Ontario's Liberal government has said it will regulate but not ban police street checks and will hold consultations over the summer before standardizing the practice province-wide.
