In 2002 whites, blacks, and Hispanics were stopped by police
at similar rates. Specifically, each group represented
approximately the same percentage of stopped drivers as they
did of drivers in the United States. For example --

* whites were 76.2% of U.S. drivers and 76.5% of drivers
stopped by police

* blacks were 10.5% of persons who drive and 11% of stopped
drivers

* Hispanics accounted for 9.7% of drivers and 9.5% of
stopped drivers.

Drivers of other races were a smaller percentage of stopped
motorists (2.9%) than of the driving population (3.6%).

Driver gender, age, and race/Hispanic origin

Young white male, young black male, and young Hispanic male
drivers were all more likely to be pulled over by police
than their older counterparts. Each of these groups of
younger male drivers was a larger percentage of drivers
stopped by police in 2002 than of the U.S. driving population.
