A new report says law enforcement officers in California are more likely to stop and search people of color. The report from the California’s Racial and Identity Profiling Advisory Board says African-American teens between the ages of 15 and 17 are six times more likely to be stopped and searched than their Caucasian counterparts. The report analyzed data from 58 of the state’s law enforcement agencies in 2021. The state’s more than 500 law enforcement agencies will all be required to report all stops and detentions to the state by April.
