Hundreds of state troopers are alleged to have falsified tickets to make it look like they were stopping more white drivers car auto cars
by the Connecticut Racial Profiling Prohibition Project in which more than 800,000 infractions issued between 2014 and 201 were reviewed revealed that troopers exaggerated stops to the tune of 26,000 tickets.
Most of the fake tickets were issued to white motorists, and the audit also discovered that 500 troopers failed to report 16,000 real traffic stops involving Black and Hispanic drivers, two factors that skewed the ratio of white to non-white drivers being stopped. In one extreme case an unidentified trooper inissued 1,350 bogus tickets, accounting for a staggering 83 percent of their overall infraction record.
The audit carried out by the Connecticut Racial Profiling Prohibition Project was initially handed over to the state attorney’s office and the Connecticut State . But Chief State’s Attorney Patrick Griffin was told by the DOJ last Thursday to suspend his investigation because the DOJ was now carrying out its own review.
