Other ethnic or racial groups were represented about equally with their populations.
Whites, who comprise 63 percent of households with cars, made up 61 percent of those stopped; Hispanics and Latinos accounted for 22 percent of stops while making up 23 percent of households with cars, and Asians and Pacific Islanders made up 4 percent of traffic stops as 6 percent of households with cars.
The report offers little comparative data on racial profiling beyond that.
Two pages of the document show 12 data points related to the stops, such as whether and why a search was conducted and whether officers found “contraband,” but it does not break down any of those statistics by the race of the driver.
Scott Lewis, 31, was arrested in Austin in January 2019 after a traffic stop
His DUI arrest was broadcast on the now-canceled reality TV show Live PD
He is now suing Williamson County claiming that deputies arrested him in a humiliating fashion to make for more entertaining TV
Lewis alleges that former Williamson County Sheriff Robert Chody encouraged his officers to play up situations for the show
His suit cites the death in custody of Javier Ambler, 40, in March 2019
Ambler died after being tased and pleading with officers that he couldn t breathe during an arrest that was also filmed by LivePD
Former Sheriff Chody has since been indicted on a felony charge of tampering with evidence in relation to Ambler s death
In an emphatic break from his predecessors, Travis County District Attorney
José Garza has released the first of what are promised to be bimonthly reports on his office s investigations into allegations of potential misconduct by local law enforcement officers. The five-page brief, issued on Jan. 14, compiles information on each case his office is working – there are more than two dozen, including three that have already resulted in indictments – including the names of those hurt or killed (except when minors or in cases of sexual assault) and of police officers involved. It also estimates when the cases will be presented to grand juries or brought to trial.
