How does racial profiling relate to traffic enforcement?

What will be an ideal response?


Racial profiling became an issue because some state police departments and city departments engaged in stopping minority drivers without probable cause for a traffic violation. In specific areas and specific departments, it may be a problem but it is not a national problem. Racial profiling, when proven to exist, should have zero tolerance.
