George Floyd Justice in Policing Act Encourages Racial Profiling of Whites and Asians and Gender-Based Police Stops | CNSNews

Joe Biden backs a police reform bill that could lead to more racial and sexual profiling, such as gender-based stops of female motorists. NBC News reports that the “Biden administration on Monday threw its support behind” the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. The administration says this bill is needed to tackle “systemic racism in police departments.”

But the bill could actually cause systematic racism and sexism. The Justice in Policing Act encourages police departments to adopt quotas based on gender and race for traffic stops, pedestrian stops, and interviews. The practical effect would be to encourage police departments to stop innocent women, Asians, and whites, just to meet quotas based on gender and race. If police departments don t meet these quotas, they could be sued by the Justice Department or individuals they stop.

Section 311 of the Act forbids what it calls racial profiling. This is defined to include not just race, but also gender in Section 302(a)(6) of the bill. But it defines “profiling” in such a crudely-mechanical way that actually encourages profiling, rather than outlawing it.

Sounds like a bad idea.
