Racial Profiling in MA
by TChris
The ugly practice of racial profiling in traffic stops continues.
A study has found that nearly three out of four Massachusetts police departments engaged in racial profiling of minority drivers, prompting the state to launch a probe.
Police in Boston, Springfield, and Worcester were the worst offenders.
So far, there is no plan to end the practice. Instead, some police departments will be required to collect more data about the reasons for their traffic stops, a rather insignificant burden that the police chiefs' association predictably labels a "witch hunt." The data will be analyzed again after another year.
