Auditors found tens of thousands of apparently falsified traffic stop records, many of white drivers. They suspect the officers were trying to appear more productive.
many of white drivers. They suspect the officers were trying to appear more productive.
I suspect that the officers are trying to game some sort of racial profiling system so that the systemic racism is slightly less visible.
That’s exactly what they were doing. They were also just juicing their own stats.
My first impression after reading, is that it was indeed to make it look like people of color were being stopped at a proportionate rate.
Obviously this is inappropriate and essentially robbing the tax payers of their money, but I would rather falsified stops than have them pulling over innocent people and issuing tickets to “meet quotas”. This country needs serious police reform one way or another
#ACAB always and forever.
Pull over! He’s already pulled over. Pull over! He can’t pull over any further!
You boys like Mexico!
Honestly, I’m not even that mad. If only nytimes would let me read those specifics
