The San Francisco Police Commission is set to take up the issues around "pretext stops," or minor vehicular infractions that some believe are used to harass people of color.

Some say traffic stops are being used to target Black and Brown people, while many police officers say they're just enforcing the law.

“It is a thing of racial profiling of Black people in San Francisco," said Phelicia Jones from Wealth and Disparities in the Black Community. "Black people in San Francisco are six times more than whites likely to be stopped by the police."

Maybe they are just bad drivers

Wonder what Roscoe Coltrane or Barney Fife or Sheriff Lobo would think of this, lol?

[bert]

They are just looking for another reason to kiss Black ass

Well, they should allow people to run red lights after coming to a full stop, if there’s no cross traffic, at least at night. Nothing accomplished by sitting there alone burning gas and open to attack (at least in the cities).

(and thankfully I haven’t been caught yet)

Must be finding too much dope or too many guns in cars with broken taillights.

Anything you reward you get more of. Anything you punish you get less of.

Unintended consequences will be more drivers without insurance, outdated car registration, more accidents, and more people injured in car pedestrian accidents.

Long term - people moving out of the city and fewer tourist visiting the city.

Small price to pay to have a discrimination pure city. /s
