Alabama Bans Racial Profiling
Racial profiling by Alabama state troopers is now formally banned.
The policy, unveiled last week, prohibits troopers from stopping motorists based solely on ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, economic status, age or cultural group and mandates annual training.
"This policy clearly states that such actions will not be tolerated," Public Safety Director Mike Coppage said.
