I guess you already forgot that link Oscar posted. Must be some good weed.
That data did not tell us why people were being pulled over. I mean, honestly, I do not believe, except in rare circumstances, that police are pulling people over purely because they are black. I have more faith in the character of police in this country. I think many of them are power hungry bullies, but they have big egos and like thinking they are doing an important job for society. They get off on being a hero. And heroes aren't racist. I know there are exceptions, but cops usually work in pairs, so not only do you need a pair of racists, you need them to have enough trust in each other to act racist.

I don't know why 10x more black people get pulled over than whites, I can only speculate. But racism isn't the only possibility. I believe racism is a minor problem in the police in the UK.

Obviously I can't speak about USA, and clearly there is a problem there. But USA is a completely different world to the UK. There are 50 states, all with different police forces and different laws. Here were have a handful of regional forces all acting on the same laws. It's a lot harder for a force to be racist here because all are answerable to the same regulatory body. If racism is a problem in the UK here, then it's also a problem in all of government, because government is allowing it. Not only government, but supposed independent regulatory bodies too. The UK just isn't this racist.

Don't they all have dashcams now? So, they should have video evidence that someone is driving erratically to base a suspicion of drunk driving on.

This is a fair point. They don't all have dashcams, at least I don't think they do, but they do have bodycams. In this case, the police want to release the bodycam footage, but it has to get the green light first. I mean, the fact they have bodycams demonstrates that for the police to be racist, so too are those at independent bodies.


Or, they could be taught to only pull people over when they have a good reason, and not because they ran out of doughnuts or tea and crumpets or whatever cops eat here.
Maccies, Burger King, any drive thru basically.

Who are we to decide what a good reason is? I mean, a Yorkshire car in Hackney, maybe something didn't match, idk what their exact thoughts were. Hopefully the bodycam footage will become public and we'll hear their conversation before they pulled them over. I'm gonna bet they don't mention skin colour.

Probably came from Spain. You'll be missing those in four months.

They come from local farms. You got a farm shop nearby? Buy local produce from there. It's always better than supermarkets.
