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”.

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.

I just drove through Memphis. Everyone drives like a$$holes. I saw one black woman change 4 lanes in <100 feet at 90 MPH...I seriously thought she was going to roll. I was at 80 getting passed like an old lady. NO cops to be seen until Colliersville and they weren’t pulling these jerks over. Everyone was black and driving carelessly, recklessly, and negligently.

What is you’re a white person driving a black vehicle, is that black appropriation? A black person driving a white vehicle, an Uncle Tom?

A white guy with a white pickup truck? Well, better call Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the whole 2 live crew I guess.

How about obeying traffic laws

no smoking weed in the car

being respectful and not raising your voice at the LEO.

dont ask stupid questions and dont argue with the LEO.

and stop driving with stolen tags, no license, a suspended license, or drugs and paraphernalia lying around the car?

there will never be equality in traffic stops b cause there is never equality in the way certain breeds of people are taught to ignore laws because they believe laws are only for white people to obey.

Shapiro nailed it several years ago. It’s the culture that’s driving this.

Because BLACKS commit the most infractions! AND CRIMES!

Just watch On Patrol Live. I’ll guess that at least 75% of all stops and calls involve Blacks.

Glad to see so many law enforcement officers today are Black.

You can take the #$@@^&$ out of the jungle, but you can’t take the jungle out of the #$@@^&$.

Proved correct every Friday and Saturday night, LIVE!

In case you are not familiar with the term “jungle”, it’s what “rain forests” used to be called.

If one group in the population is disproportionately responsible for a greater proportion of the violations...maybe we need to force insurance companies to assign higher premiums to that group....they do it by age and by sex...color of the skin is fair game.
