A report from the American Civil Liberties Union, says that African-American motorists in Illinois are more likely to be stopped and searched during a routine traffic stop than any others.  The report says that police asked to conduct searches of vehicles driven by black motorists nearly twice as often as those who were driven by white in 2017.  Police also searched the cars of Latino drivers 1.4 times more often then whites.  The study examined data collected by the Illinois Department of Transportation between 2015 and 2017, from more than 900 law enforcement agencies statewide.  Police made about 6.5-million traffic stops during that timeframe, with around 283,000 searches.  The study found that certain cities, such as Aurora and Champaign, had drivers stopped at rates more than twice as many times as there are African-American’s in the population.  In Chicago, African-American drivers accounted for 61-percent of all traffic stops in 2017, while only making up 31-percent of the total city’s population.
