State Police says it Plans to Resume Noting Race of Drivers

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The Pennsylvania State Police says it hopes to resume collecting data early next year on the race of drivers that troopers pull over after a news organization reported the practice ended seven years ago. Spotlight PA said Friday the agency stopped recording the race of drivers in 2012. A state police spokesman says it was because of studies indicating there wasn’t evidence of racial disparities in traffic stops.
