The report didn't come as a surprise for some. And while the sheriff's office is implementing more training, the ACLU says agencies across Texas can do better.
The ACLU says if you're Black, you're two times more likely to be pulled over in Montgomery County than if you're white, according to a new report.The American Civil Liberties Union called a new report out of Montgomery County troubling, showing you're two times more likely to be pulled over if you're Black, compared to if you're white.
On Tuesday, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office released its annual racial profiling report to county commissioners. The racial make-up of someone getting pulled over in a new report didn't come as a surprise to people who study this issue. "The numbers are certainly troubling," Hudson said. "They were troubling in 2019, and they're still troubling today. There really should be little difference in the rate of stops between white and Black folks in Montgomery County."While Montgomery County released 2022 data, the state hasn't released other local agencies yet. ABC13 did obtainIn Harris County, despite about 20% of the population being Black, 34% of people pulled over by deputies are Black.
The reports also show how many times people filed racial profiling complaints. Between the agencies we shared data from, there were less than 30 complaints.
