The findings, presented at a public meeting Wednesday, allege systemic violations of state law and that the misreporting skewed racial profiling data making it appear troopers ticketed more white drivers and fewer minority motorists than they really did

The report found there was a “high likelihood” at least 25,966 tickets were falsified between 2014 and 2021. Another 32,587 records over those years showed significant inaccuracies and auditors believe many of those are likely to be false as well.

The findings showed significant numbers of false and inaccurate tickets were submitted by up to nearly one quarter of the 1,301 troopers who wrote tickets for the state’s largest law enforcement agency during those years.

So they injured white people on purpose to cover up the fact that they were injuring black people on purpose. Jesus Christ they really can't do anything honestly, can they?

No tickets were actually issued, they put in police databases that they had issued a ticket, which I don’t think is used for actual proceedings

Oh so they were just plain lying to cover up the fact that they actually ticketed minority drivers more often. That tracks

Not even I think they were just pretending to ticket white people
