I had the same visceral response that eriqc had when i saw the term racial profiling. I hope the data is being used to cut down on the use of racial profiling to harass motorists. Too often in this country, individuals are stopped for no other reason that DWB (Driving While Black) and some feeble excuse is used to violate their rights. Perhaps the data collected will help shed some more light on this all too common occurence and abuse of power.
