Following a MarshallProj/wews investigation, an Ohio lawmaker wants a law requiring police to record race during traffic stops. Story from MarkPuente, DonaldsonStan and taramorganTV:
CLEVELAND — An Ohio lawmaker says she will introduce legislation requiring police agencies to record race data when making traffic stops, following a Marshall Project/News 5 investigation into how the village of Bratenahl tickets mostly Black drivers from neighboring Cleveland.
“The only way we can make systemic change is with the data,” Brent told The Marshall Project - Cleveland. “The data has to support what people are saying in public.”In 2020, New York University’s School of Law’s Policing Project called state laws that require officers to record race data “a gold standard.” As of 2020, the group said only 20 states required the collection.
Lawmakers can solve the issue by passing legislation that would require the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles to make drivers disclose their race when issuing or renewing a driver’s license, he said. “The burden should not be on impacted communities, advocates and the media to spend countless hours combing through piecemealed records,” Rosnick said. “Cohesive, statewide data collection on traffic stops would be a step in the right direction — though we know much more would be needed, including rigorous monitoring of this data and meaningful reforms.”
Over 60% of drivers ticketed in 2022 came from areas with higher poverty rates, lower household income, and larger non-White populations than most Ohio communities.
