N.C. Department of Justice Traffic Stop Records for 2014/2015 Reflect that Salisbury Police Stopped Blacks Far More Often than Whites

RFP Staff

A racial imbalance was demonstrated in NCDOJ traffic stop records for the Salisbury, N.C. Police for 2014 and 2015. The NCDOJ records data reflect that Police Officers stopped blacks 2x and 3x more often than whites in traffic stops and searches. Know that Blacks presently are still a minority in the City of Salisbury which makes the traffic stop records even more telling.

Is it any wonder why non-white persons are upset or don’t respect the Salisbury Police Department when they experience getting stopped more than whites?
