"Many police agencies use the traffic code as an excuse to go on a fishing expedition"
Driving while Black and dealing with law enforcement, is one of the most serious and deadly encounters that could happen to a person of color these days.
Researchers studied nearly 100 million traffic stops and found black motorists are more likely to be pulled over.
The new study, undertaken by Ravi Shroff, an assistant professor holding joint appointments at NYU Steinhardt and NYU CUSP, and his colleagues at the Stanford Open Policing Project, found that in a dataset of nearly 100 million traffic stops across the United States, black drivers were about 20 percent more likely to be stopped than white drivers relative to their share of the residential population.
The study also found that once stopped, black drivers were searched about 1.5 to 2 times as often as white drivers, while they were less likely to be carrying drugs, guns, or other illegal contraband compared to their white peers.
Our own Attorney Hugo Mack, of H Mack Law will talk about the disproportionate number of fatal traffic stops endured by Black people.
