A historically Black university in North Carolina announced Monday that it has filed a complaint with the Department of Justice seeking a review of a search of a bus carrying students during a traffic stop in South Carolina last month.
“If anything we’re ever doing is racist, I want to know it, I want to fix it and I want to never let it happen again,” Wright said. “But this case right here has absolutely nothing to do with racism.”
A leashed dog “ran through the baggage,” turning up nothing illegal, Wright said. Police body camera footage shows officers searching several bags in the bus’ underbelly storage. The driver received a warning. The university’s complaint states that a lane violation would be insufficient justification for a drug search and students’ right to privacy was violated because while the driver consented to a luggage compartment search, passengers didn’t consent to a search of their individual luggage. It also alleges that Operation Rolling Thunder disproportionately targeted Black drivers.
