Not really. If white drivers are only searched if there are real indicators that something is off and black drivers are sought if there are real indicators but also when there are none then the bulk of drivers being caught will likely be in those being searched with real indicators showing something off. In which case the likelihood of a driver carrying contraband is not really correlated to their race.
- rbanffy 5y agoThe only way to be sure is to make police conduct searches on all stopped vehicles, regardless of driver race and other perceived indicators.
