A New Jersey lawmaker has a plan to combat the traffic stop phenomenon derisively known as “driving while Black.”
With studies showing Black drivers are more likely to be pulled over for traffic infractions than white people, Assemblymember Shanique Speight — an Essex County sheriff’s officer who’s Black — introduced legislation last week that would end police stops for minor traffic violations.
Under Speight's “contactless policing” bill, officers could not stop most drivers for offenses like broken tail lights, driving less than 30 mph over the speed limit or careless driving. Instead, those drivers would find out they’ve been cited when they get a ticket in the mail.
The idea, according to the bill, is to cut down on racial disparities in traffic stops.
Comment:
Whenever a Democrat Politician says "studies show" or "critics say" without telling you who did the study or the methods that they used, whatever follows will be contrived tripe.
The Police are not harassing minorities, they are enforcing traffic laws.
They are making it safe for everyone.
Shanique Speight is making driving more dangerous in NJ.
