The Answer
Racial profiling during a traffic stop, meaning you were stopped, searched, or treated differently based on race rather than actual traffic violations or reasonable suspicion, may be a violation of your civil rights.
If this happens to you, try to:
- Remain calm and avoid escalating the situation during the stop itself
- Ask for and note the officer's name, badge number, and patrol car number
- Write down everything you remember as soon as possible, including exact words used
- Identify any witnesses or dashcam and bodycam footage that may exist
- Avoid posting details publicly before speaking with an attorney, since this can complicate a case
Racial profiling cases can be difficult to prove without documentation, which is why acting quickly matters. Marko Law has secured the largest race discrimination verdict in Michigan history, and we understand what it takes to build these cases from the ground up.
