  MONTREAL A legal clinic is hoping to cut down on racial profiling by teaching Repentigny s minority groups about their rights. Alain Babineau, a former RCMP officer-turned social justice advocate, is behind the project, saying the most powerful tool a Person of Colour has when stopped by police is knowing their rights. “It s really important that folks feel empowered because, automatically, there s a power imbalance with cops,” he said. Repentigny police have been criticized repeatedly in the past for allegedly racially profiling. Last year, Quebec s Human Rights Commission ruled that the city should pay $35,000 in restitution to a victim of racial profiling and implement anti-profiling training. The police force recently launched a one-year initiative aimed at making their ranks more inclusive.
