"I used BUSTED in my criminal procedure class. It was a big hit! The students felt it was a great way to review the course materials and several asked if they could have a video. I’ll be teaching this class again next year and plan to show your video on the first day of class -- which my students felt would be a real attention-getter. Thanks for the video!" Kay Levine, J.D., Ph.D., Emory University, Assistant Professor of Law Advertisement

Black and Hispanic drivers we
Black and Hispanic drivers were significantly more likely to be searched, arrested, handcuffed, beaten, maced, or bitten by dogs.
That isn't very meaningful. If they were more likely to be searched/arrested/handcuffed when the cop didn't have probable cause, or there wasn't later a conviction, that would be bad.
But if a higher percentage of black/hispanic drivers had actually commited a crime, then we should rightfully expect a higher percentage of black/hispanic arrests.
As far as being beaten, maced or bitten by dogs, how many of those cases have dash camera footage indicating that the cop was attacked first?
Repeat after me, folks, "correlation is not causation".
(No, I'm not automatically assuming the worst of some ethnic groups. I'm automatically assuming the worst of sloppy research and reporting.)
