racial profiling

Federal prosecutors have dropped an investigation into Connecticut state troopers for allegedly falsifying information on thousands of traffic stop tickets that may have skewed state racial profiling data, according to state officials.

The latest official report on police racial profiling in Connecticut finds no significant disparity in the way police treated drivers during traffic stops in 2022.

An audit of the state's racial profiling database found that between 2014 and 2021, more than 25,000 tickets were falsified. Union president Todd Fedigan said the media is using that data to “change the narrative.”

Connecticut lawmakers can expect a report by October on their inquiry into whether a scandal involving state troopers faking traffic stop tickets may have skewed racial profiling data.

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont and state lawmakers have announced separate investigations into the state police after an audit found hundreds of troopers wrote thousands of fake tickets between 2014 and 2021.
