The Minnesota State Patrol is considering recording the race of every driver troopers pull over. The Patrol wants to make sure officers aren't making stops based on race. More than 100 other police agencies across the country have implimented similar plans over the last year in an effort to end so called "racial profiling." State Patrol Major Dennnis Lazenberry is overseeing the project. He says the study is a precautionary measure.
