[QUOTE="OldWiseGuy, post: 72446380, member: 139156"] The Milwaukee report only concerned stops in high crime areas of the black communities. The purpose is to reduce crime in those areas. If whites in other cities are found to have contraband twice as often as blacks or Latinos then it follows that those whites are arrested at twice the rate of the minorities. Regarding 'illegal' stops. Anyone who doesn't want to get stopped drives very carefully. Therefore the cops have to be very creative in their reason for stopping people. They have many tricks. A favorite is to pull someone over because their "tail light is out". As they approach the car they tap on the tail light and it magically comes on. But 'while they're there' they engage the occupants. If they 'sense' something 'suspicious' they are 'justified' in going further which may include searching the occupants and the vehicle. All nice and legal like. [/QUOTE]
