CT police falsified thousands of reports to the racial profiling database, new report finds
A recent audit shows Connecticut State Police Troopers submitted over 25,000 falsified traffic stop records to the state’s racial profiling database, resulting in a vast overrepresentation of traffic stops involving white drivers.
The Connecticut Racial Profiling Prohibition Project compared self-reported records of traffic tickets in the database to official records, or the Centralized Infractions Bureau, of actual traffic tickets from 2014 to 2021.
While the audit found with confidence that there were 25,966 overreported incidents, the number could be as high as 58,553.
