A new lawsuit filed by the ACLU of Illinois says fewer than 1% of the more than 2.6 million stops made by Chicago police over six years resulted in an arrest or the discovery of illegal drugs or a gun.
The lawsuit alleges that the CPD engages in racial profiling by disproportionately targeting Black and Latino drivers during traffic stops.
Fewer than 5% of some 600,000 stops net even a ticket; not even 1% result in arrest or seizure of drugs or guns.
