Driving while black - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

�Driving while Black� (DWB) is a slang term used to refer to the racial profiling of African-American motor vehicle drivers by police. It implies that a�motorist�may be stopped by a�police�officer largely because of�racial bias�rather than any apparent violation of traffic law. Studies�indicate that Black drivers are stopped more often than white drivers, with less evidence of wrongdoing.�The phrase was magnified after the ruling of�Whren v. United States(1996), when the�Supreme Court of the United States�ruled that police officers may stop any motor vehicle operator if any traffic violation has been observed.
