Study shows being pulled over for 'driving while black' is a factual occurrence

[Ben Thomson]

Seems blacks are pulled over about 2 times more frequently than whites, yet on a per capita basis are found to be less likely 'driving dirty' than whites. Same goes for incarceration..black people are more likely to receive a prison sentence than their white counterparts for the same crime....https://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publ...vers-more-likely-to-be-stopped-by-police.html

Serves them right. Maybe they'll think twice about being black next time.

3...2....1 I agree, there is plenty of evidence that people of color are pulled over more frequently than Whites.
HERE"S THE PROBLEM: The Left has taken this tendency by Police and hold it up as PROOF that America is rampant with Systemic Racism which is patently ABSURD and FALSE.

there is probably some truth to it

What are you demanding?

A quota system for cops?

Maybe a 1 to 1 ratio

Nah

1 black for every 5 whites?

Help us out here oh all-knowing swami

Since liberals claim minorities don't know how to obtain ID's perhaps they're pulled over to see if they have a drivers license.

There's probably a lot more cars pulled over as well in metropolitan areas in general, and those also happen to be the areas that most black people live. that can skew the numbers some nationally.

If you're black and you want to GUARANTEE being pulled over, put on a nice suit and drive a new Mercedes.

Well you know, Biden knows a lot (or at least he used to before the dementia set in) about incarcerating black men, for example who do crack cocaine. He made sure they got a lot stiffer sentence than Hunter B. maybe you ought to send a note to the white house.

meanwhile I believe Trump was making some inroads to less black people in jail or prison with prison reform. Having jobs really helps, and so does school choice with vouchers to get out and away from the public school system.

In particular, among state patrol stops, the annual per-capita stop rate for black drivers was 0.10 compared to 0.07 for white drivers; and among municipal police stops, the annual per-capita stop rate for black drivers was 0.20 compared to 0.14 for white drivers. For Hispanic drivers, however, we found that stop rates were lower than for white drivers: 0.05 for stops conducted by state patrol (compared to 0.07 for white drivers) and 0.09 for those conducted by municipal police departments (compared to 0.14 for white drivers).

RACISM!!!!

In particular, per-capita stop rates do not account for possible race-specific differences in driving behaviour, including amount of time spent on the road and adherence to traffic laws.

Darn it!!!

Maybe they should look into rates of moving violations by race?

The article linked was from another article about how Sen. Tom Cotton feels we are not imprisoning enough people, citing crime rates in 'big cities'. 'Big Cities' is code for minority neighborhoods so you know where he is going with that remark. Fact is if you break down crime stats on a per capita basis minorities commit less major crimes than whites. It is even getting a little expensive in states that like to target minorities for long prison sentences...North Carolina just paid a man for 15 years of wrongful imprisonment. He was in prison for 44 years.

Sounds interesting.

Can you post the stats that back up your claim?

As for criminal charges being filed resulting from just traffic stops there's this...https://openpolicing.stanford.edu/data/

If your going on the basis that since there are more blacks/minorities in prison than whites, that proves they commit more crimes than whites there is this to consider...Demographic Differences in Sentencing

Could that be because they are repeat offenders?

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Comparing rates of being pulled over to the population at large is meaningless by way of establishing bias.

The only way to do that would be to compare rates of being pulled over for actual driving offenses.

If blacks commit more offenses OF COURSE they will be pulled over at higher rates.

Of course driving around with a broken tail light and expired tags makes a difference as well.

I'm going by your claim, "on a per capita basis minorities commit less major crimes than whites"
