Oh that's right, another internet myth.Quote:
In Texas, a 1995 analysis of more than 16 million driving records by the Houston Chronicle found that minority drivers who strayed into the small white enclaves in and around the state's major urban areas were twice as likely as whites to be ticketed for traffic violations. The study found that Hispanics were ticketed most often, though blacks overall faced the sharpest disparities, particularly in the suburbs around Houston where they were more than three times as likely as whites to receive citations. Bellaire, a mostly white city surrounded by southwest Houston, had the widest disparity in ticketing minorities of any city statewide, with blacks 43 times more likely than whites to receive citations there.

1995 is about two law enforcement generations distant. Even when I worked traffic enforcement in Bryan, most stops were on white drivers. Saturday night was a different matter due to weekend clubbing and a number of bars which catered to illegal aliens on Bryan's north side. I also worked in Salt Lake City where the population is overwhelmingly (until 20 years ago) gringo and Saturday nights involved a lot of stops with Hispanic drivers. Saturday nights mean tighter enforcement in the attempt to apprehend DUIs/DWIs.
And you usually cannot tell the ethnicity of the driver at night or with tinted windows absent any other information.
