Ending Racial Profiling By Law

Wikimedia

"Driving while hispanic" is not an official term, but it's one that surfaces from time to time in our region, indicating issues even here with law enforcement and race. 

And while much of the country is focused on those issues, Oregon Action and other groups want changes. 

OA is pushing for state laws that would curtail or end racial profiling by police. 

We hear how those laws would work, if passed.
