The group, spearheaded by Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) and Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), called on the Department of Transportation to condemn the “status quo of traffic enforcement” and to create reforms to reduce racial inequality in traffic stops.

All these traffic stops will cause the freeways to capsize.

How about following traffic laws so the police have no reason to pull you over?

Many newer cars have tinted windows so the cops can’t even see who is driving when they pull the car over, let alone the race of the driver.

If changes aren’t made the nation’s highways might tip over due to enforcement issues.

Expecting blacks to obey the law, behave themselves, and act like civilized people is “racist”.

“How about following traffic laws... “

You just know they want separate sets of laws for various groups.

The reason for inequality is inequality.

Equality can not be legislated.

Pressley is your typical Massachusetts democratic grifter yammering about race for no other reason than to perpetuate division...I am ashamed to have been raised in the state. In the late 60’s and early 70’s it was nice on the Cape and the intrusion on every aspect of your existence wasn’t micro managed as it has become. She is simply a by-product without an independent thought. She needs a wig as her current appearance is far from flattering.

Drive around in a vehicle that's accident damaged (illustrated to be uninsured), tinted windows (illegal tints), illegal wheels, illegal lighting, refusing to obey traffic laws,running red lights and stop signs, unregisterd tags status, expired tags, causes you to be stopped. It has nothing to do with your race.

It's really quite easy to be invisible to police enforcement efforts on the highways.

Better idea: Dismantle the Department of Transportation.

If the Feds get into traffic law, then they need to make it equalized accross all states. In Illinois there are traffic cops everywhere, Speed Traps everywhere. Many of us got many tickets.

Here in GA, traffic enforcement is rarelt seen. Illinois is a Police State...so to speak. Georgia is FREE and not a Police State ... relatively speaking.

My daughters drive between IL and GA. In a short time in IL they get far more tickets than GA where they have spent most of the past 8 years.

But IL does issue tickets based on color...or so it seems. When I drove a red dodge and a bright purple Ford Ranger I got many tickets... especially for no seat belt. Radar cops would stop me and claim that going the opposite way on Hwy 47 or I55 they could see that I was not wearing my belt.

When I drove the beige, white and black cars they did not stop me or give me tickets.

So tickets do seem to be issued based on color.
