At least it's reassuring that everyone in the article says they are committed to ending this practice 😬

[–] alyaza@beehaw.org 1 points 3 years ago

very much begs a number of questions like:

how common is this practice across america?
how many women and men has this been done to, and we just don't know?
can the police even be trusted to not do this practice going forward, even though it's almost certainly illegal even under current laws and should probably be under future ones too?
