Cuffed Without Cause (Extra Scene from 'Driving While Black')

Synopsis

Watch the Full Length report from Seton Hall Law School Center for Policy & Research, which reveals that in Bloomfield, New Jersey, nearly 80 percent of traffic tickets are issued to African American and Latino drivers. This report highlights that most tickets are given to non-resident minority drivers merely passing through the predominantly white municipality. The findings suggest a troubling 'de facto border patrol' policing policy in Bloomfield, raising significant concerns about racial profiling and law enforcement practices in the area. The Bloomfield Police Department has started collecting data to address these issues, aiming to improve transparency and accountability in their operations.
