[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Traffic cameras disproportionately hit black drivers[/quote] How is this possible? Are they designed to only take a picture if the driver is black?[/quote] this has been a long standing issue with traffic cameras. there's lots of reasons. blacks are less likely to have jobs that allow for working remotely so they're more likely to drive. they're less likely to live near their jobs so they're in their cars longer. they're less likely to live in neighborhoods with groceries stores and things like that nearby so that also has them in their cars more. they're more likely to have lower incomes so traffic tickets and other penalties hurt a lot more. im frankly surprised dc even has cameras because the evidence that they affect african americans more is overwhelming.
