Pulled Over – A Study of KCMO Traffic Stops
Did you know there are two different types of traffic stops? Many of us have experienced the bad driving stop, for speeding or other infraction that result in a citation and sent on our way. The other type of stop is the Investigative stop, where a actual or bogus traffic infraction is used as a pretext to stop a motorist to look for drugs or weapons. It is the second type of stop that has many calling racism on the part of the police.
Host Teresa Wilke talks with Charles Epp a professor at Kansas University about a study of KCMO Police traffic stops that resulted in the book Pulled Over authored by Epps, Steven Maynard Moody and David Hale Markle with financial support of the National Science Foundation.
