Cambridge is considering shifting ‘routine traffic enforcement’ away from police. Here’s what to know.
The proposed policy was criticized by the city's police commissioner.
July 30, 2020 | Arianna MacNeill | Boston.com
“Routine traffic stops disproportionately impact Black and Brown drivers, who are pulled over and searched more often than white drivers, leading to potentially stressful interactions with the police,” reads part of the proposed policy, put forth by Councilors Quinton Zondervan and Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler. “This racist outcome is not the result of biases by individual officers, although those may play a role, but rather is primarily the result of systemic biases, including overpolicing in Black neighborhoods, and training of police officers to be hypervigilant and to expect violent resistance, despite such incidents being very rare.”
