...to respond to this question:

""A local independent magazine, City Beat, published research that an "analysis of 141,000 traffic citations written by Cincinnati Police in a 22-month period found black drivers twice as likely as whites to be cited for driving without a license, twice as likely to be cited for not wearing a seat belt and four times as likely to be cited for driving without proof of insurance.""

- Um. Ever look at the demographics of which race lives in major cities? It's about 85% blacks. So why in the world would whites be getting an equal number of tickets?

And have you ever had to pay for insurance in a major city? I paid $300/month living in Philadelphia. You think poverty based city people can afford that? Please. Again - it's like shooting fish in a barrell. You pull over someone in a city (85% change they're black) and they can't afford $300/month insurance? Well...You let them go to avoid racial profiling? Please.

have YOU ever looked at the demographics? (#4)

Man, I HAVE to call bullshit on this. And I'll back it up. From Wikipedia:

Cincinnati:
The racial makeup of the city was 52.97% White, 42.92% Black or African American, 0.21% Native American, 1.55% Asian, 0.04% Pacific Islander, 0.63% from other races, and 1.68% from two or more races. 1.28% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.

Philiadelphia:
As of the 2004 Census estimations, there were 1,463,281 people, 658,799 housing units, and the racial makeup of the city was 45.0% White, 43.2% African American, 5.5% Asian, 0.3% Native American, 0.1% Pacific Islander, from 5.8% other races, and 2.2% from two or more races.
