The City Council of Philadelphia passed a bill on Thursday to prevent police from pulling over drivers who are committing minor traffic violations, such as driving without an inspection sticker, driving with a broken brake light, or driving without a vehicle registration, among others, WHYY reported. Why? Because a recent report showed that police pulled over a disproportionate number of black drivers for these infractions. Except laws such as these sometimes lead to recovering illegally owned guns. But, even though Philadelphia is in the midst of a homicide wave unlike any the city has ever seen, Philadelphia Democrats pass another bill to make it easier for criminals to commit crime.

The so-called Driving Equality Bill was put into effect because allegedly too many black drivers were being stopped. However, just because too many black drivers were being stopped does not indicate racial injustice. If there are more black drivers breaking these laws than other races, then that would be the reason for the discrepancy. The city has neither confirmed nor denied this part.
