Racial disparities continue among motorists

A new report by Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster reveals that black motorists are still more likely to be pulled over than white motorists.

Overall, African Americans were 65 to 70 percent more likely to be pulled over than white motorists.

Hispanics were less likely to be pulled over than white drivers, but more likely to be searched. Blacks were also more likely to be searched than Caucasians.

White motorists had the highest contraband hit rate among all groups.
