Driving While Black in New Jersey
Рет қаралды 2,333,816
Күн бұрынA new report from Seton Hall Law School Center for Policy & Research has found that in the majority-white municipality of Bloomfield, New Jersey, nearly 80 percent of traffic tickets are issued to African American and Latino drivers.
The report also found that most tickets were issued to non-resident minority drivers passing through town, suggesting a "de facto border patrol" policing policy is in effect.
The Bloomfield Police Department - which has begun collecting data on the race of drivers in traffic stops as of January 2016 - rejects the report's findings.
VICE News reports on Seton Hall's methodology and on the experience of minority drivers in Bloomfield.
Please note that in this video, Lakisha Finkelstein's name was misspelled as Latisha Finkelstein.

As a minority myself, I totally understand how he felt and had gone through @4:30, because I too, has had experiences similar to this guy driving in a rural white neighborhood for being a minority. Here's my story: one time, I was driving home from work and noticed an old caucasian couple walking on the side walk so I thought it'd be nice to wave at them(driving past them on the street). Didn't think nothing of it, got home and about 15 minutes later, cops showed up asking for my ID's and where I've been doing...because according to a "very valid" report, he'd received a phone call that someone of my description and my license plate number was trying to run people over on the side walk. Just then I realized, it's that old white folk couple that I've waved to on the sidewalk earlier. Yep, white privilege at its finest...and weaponizing that privilege to its full potential.

@@seuthsayer I could be wrong but I think the point is if they are deploying their resources to higher crime areas they should then focus on more serious or criminal activities, not so much on petty or small traffic violations. However the problem is that many of these stops are usually pretextual stops, looking an excuse to escalate or find something else like drugs etc with little or no actual evidence of a crime or traffic/ordinance violation in the first place.

So, there answer to how do you know how old this fossil is? Either carbon or strata layer when neither have been proven. The masses believed the lies and even started applying this manipulation technique to everything else in life. Now no one even knows the difference between a lie and the truth anymore. Everyone believes perceived authority over facts now, but its slowly starting to change.

Iet’s see if I can understand this: 1) The police patrol higher crime areas more, but despite the higher police presence these areas remain “high crime” 2) The low crime areas remain low crime despite the lower police presence. 3) The areas of high police presence have more people breaking traffic laws, along with all other criminal activity. 4) In the experiment the researchers correctly predicted they would be pulled over without cause because they appeared to be poor and black. 5) the police chief states there is no racial profiling despite the results of the driving while black experiment and his own statistics verifying blacks and Hispanics are ticketed at a higher per capita rate and admitting enforcement is selectively higher in the minority occupied portion of the township. Nope, I cannot understand any of this. It defies logic.

Of course your'e going to give out more tickets in a place you place more cops. If they had more cops up north that number of crime and tickets would increase too, So blacks and Latinos MOVE UP NORTH! lol

I grew up right outside of Bloomfield, and had many friends there. I still drive through there frequently. It's a known fact that their police force is one of the most corrupt forces in the country. Just look it up. Theres been so many cases of corruption in the township its ridiculous. As a white male driving a crappy car when I was around 20 years old about 12 years ago I was pulled over at night constantly. Yes it does border some badly crime ridden towns, but the cops in Bloomfield aren't doing any justice by practicing what they are doing. I cant even imagine being a minority driving through that dreadful garbage town. Especially at night.

Maybe this is a mute conversation for you but the Peace Office should do just that, create a atmosphere of Peace and not subject minorities to excessive abuse. Maybe you do not realize that it is contagious. So that when a Policeman or woman act with compassion than the recipient in turn acts the same. Violence or corruption creates more violence or corruption and than who needs a cop for that. If you look at the percentages you showed in your text than you should show compassion for a group of people being unfairly targeted. I suggest you watch the video 10 times if you do not realize the problem I would say you are part of the problem. I would rather look at Police as Heroes as I do Fireman. But the force is tainted and have gone to far down the HELL HOLE and defend the indefensible. I would suggest you get on the side of what is RIGHT and not Black or White.
