Report: PPB Stops Black Drivers At Higher Rate Than White Drivers

(Portland, OR) -- A new report shows the Portland Police Bureau stops a higher percentage of Black drivers for non-moving violations and those drivers are searched more often.

The overall number of traffic stops were down last year because the pandemic had fewer drivers on the roads.
