I don’t quite understand the point of the recent Sunday “Watchdog” articles (“Black drivers are pulled over by police more, mostly for non-moving violations”) complaining that, while the state’s adult Black population is 13.6%, Black drivers accounted for 30.5% of all traffic stops.
Where is it written that either moving (e.g., speeding) or non-moving (talking on the phone, not wearing seat belts, driving with expired plates) violations are equally distributed among the general population on the basis of race?
