The "End Racial Profiling Act"
Posted at 9:39:22 on April 8, 2004
The Boston Globe is reporting on the End Racial Profiling Act (read full article here), which Russ Feingold is sponsoring along with Representative John Conyers (MI-D). To quote the article, "The proposed 'End Racial Profiling Act' would ban the practice, give profiling victims the right to sue, and have federal, state, and local police departments collect data to paint a more complete statistical picture. The bill is sponsored by Senator Russ Feingold, a Wisconsin Democrat, and Representative John Conyers, a Michigan Democrat.
"The bill also calls for grants to promote best practices gleaned from successful programs, including training, technology to collect data, and equipping police cars with video cameras and portable computers to verify the accuracy of collected data. Other best practices include procedures for registering public complaints about profiling and for holding police department managers accountable."
