Minnesota state senators say combating the disproportionate targeting of minorities in traffic stops will be a high priority in next year's legislative session, and they envision bills requiring data collection on the practice statewide. At a joint hearing of the Senate Judiciary and Crime Prevention comittees Wednesday, Twin Cities minorities described repeated traffic stops which they believe resulted from so-called "racial profiling." They said something must be done in order for minorities to have any confidence in the law enforcement and justice systems. Metro-area police departments have begun collecting information on racial profiling, but legislators say stronger efforts are needed.
