Knowlton, what did you observe? That's right, it wasn't your observation but anecdotal evidence from a friend.
This thread is pretty irresponsible.
knowlton said:
Not irresponsible at all. With the news coming out of Missouri and their complete sham of a court system, one must be ever vigilant. How can bringing it out for conversation be irresponsible? Looking for observations from other people.

I was in Maplewood Municipal Court last spring contesting a ticket. Had to go twice. Yes, the vast majority of people were for minor traffic violations but the racial make up was a mix.

Not trolling. Are we to blindly trust the system and believe there is no discrimination?

Did you notice disparate treatment of Blacks and Whites?

I'll bet you $54 that ~90% of municipal court cases in Maplewood are related to parking. I guess it's possible the police sit and wait for a black guy to park 61 minutes in a 1 hour spot so they can ticket him - but somehow I doubt it.

Blacks is an acceptable term. I have a Black friend who refuses to be called African American.

Wondering if anyone else has had the same observations?
Are the Maplewood Police targeting Blacks for minor offenses? I know I've driven months without expired stickers.
