Policing Disparities Prove Discrimination
False Assumption: Disproportionate police searches of Black and Latino drivers indicate intentional racial discrimination unrelated to crime rates.
Written by FARAgent on February 09, 2026
In the 1960s, liberal policies began reshaping American criminal justice, fostering the idea that racial disparities in policing stemmed from bias rather than crime patterns. By the 1990s, this view solidified in civil rights circles, with lawsuits highlighting stark numbers: in places like New York, Black and Latino drivers faced searches at rates far exceeding whites, often yielding little contraband. Advocates argued these stops amounted to discriminatory fishing expeditions, ignoring demographic differences in traffic or crime. Federal judges, like John A. Gibney Jr. in Richmond, embraced this in rulings; in one 2020s case, he tossed evidence from Keith Moore's traffic stop, deeming it racially motivated.
The assumption drove policy shifts, constraining police in high-crime areas and contributing to crime surges. New York Times reporter Maria Cramer covered such lawsuits as proof of NYPD discrimination against minorities. Yet, by 2024, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch released reports showing Black New Yorkers suffered murder rates vastly higher than whites, suggesting searches aligned with violence patterns. In appeals, judges like Paul V. Niemeyer questioned the discrimination narrative, pointing to evidence that disparities reflected real crime differences.
Critics now argue the assumption overlooks behavioral factors, mounting evidence challenges its foundation, and the debate remains hotly contested among experts in civil rights and public policy.

The Foundation
The assumption took root in lawsuits citing search disparities, like 84 percent of searched drivers being Black or Latino versus 4 percent white. This ignored whites' larger share of car travel and high minority murder arrest rates. [1] Low contraband finds were seen as evidence of pointless searches, but critics point to deterrence and crime demographics. [1] The idea held that policing should match population shares, not crime patterns, supported by lawsuit stats but challenged by arrest data. [1] In Richmond, 2020 data showed Black drivers stopped five times more than whites, taken as bias proof. Yet mounting evidence notes the 29 times higher Black firearm homicide rate there. [2] The belief assumed stops only addressed driving, not broader safety like gun control. [2] In Los Angeles, stop disparities were deemed profiling, ignoring crime rates and pushing for equal stops by race. [3] The 1971 Griggs case assumed disparities meant discrimination, overlooking later data on group differences. [4] Disparate impact relied on equal achievement expectations, but markets showed persistent gaps. [4] Neutral policies were questioned if outcomes differed, assuming equal capacities despite evidence otherwise. [5] Cognitive score gaps were taboo, bolstering disparate-impact claims. [5] Griggs shifted burdens to employers, but social science suggested equal opportunity yields unequal results. [6] The 1966 Coleman Report challenged equal outcomes but was sidelined. [6] In Britain, data on Black youth jailing rates fueled bias claims, though critics argue it reflects offending differences. [7] The Lammy report highlighted disparities, often without crime context. [7]

How It Spread
A federal lawsuit and New York Times stories spread the discrimination story, building on the 2013 stop-and-frisk ruling. [1] The Washington Post amplified the lower court decision as targeting Black drivers. [2] Social pressure deemed crime rate awareness racist, limiting debate. [2] LA Times hype led to the LAPD consent decree. [3] Federal agencies and the Supreme Court pushed disparate impact, making tests risky. [4] The New York Times portrayed it as vital for rights and Trump's move as harmful. [5] The New York Times gave Trump's order minimal coverage. [6] The Guardian reported British jailing data, boosting injustice narratives. [7] A Netflix show shifted focus to white youth issues, away from actual violence patterns. [7]

Harm Caused
Rising crime waves hit American cities, first in the 1960s peaking in the 1990s, then after 2014. Unspoken racial crime facts limited policing. [1] Assumptions of bias risked more urban violence, with high Black and Hispanic victim rates in New York. [1] In Richmond, Blacks faced 29 times higher firearm death rates than whites from 2018 to 2024. Bias claims may have reduced effective stops. [2] Nationally, the Black rate was 13 times higher. [2] LAPD invented white stops to meet quotas, boosting paperwork. [3] Companies abandoned good hiring tests under EEOC pressure, hurting quality. [4] Disparate impact led to quotas, creating new discrimination. [4] Walmart settled for $20 million and changed tests, despite job demands. [5] A firm dropped a valid exam to avoid costs, worsening hires. [6] In Britain, ignoring real crime patterns sustained violence. [7] Two-tier sentencing could weaken deterrence for high-offending groups. [7]

Downfall
In 2025, the 4th Circuit found insufficient evidence of discriminatory purpose in the Richmond case. It reinstated the indictment. [2] The court noted the stop stemmed from a fake tag observation, not race. [2] The Ramparts scandal revealed minority rogue cops, and absurd decree outcomes like faked stops undermined the racism claim. [3] Trump's 2025 Justice Department ended disparate impact after conservative critiques and gap data recognition. [4] His April 23, 2025 order stopped federal enforcement. [5] Decades of post-Coleman science challenged it, leading to Trump's order. [6] British data showed Black youth jailing reflected higher crime rates. [7] Youth custody dropped sharply since 2005, with whites declining faster than minorities. [7]
