Maybe they're getting paid, but they're not working. Union rules dictate what certain people can and can't touch. For example, carpenters work with wood. If there's metal attached to the wood, they won't touch the metal because that's another union's job.
Everyone waiting around is waiting for their work to start. It's incredibly inefficient and VERY expensive.
90% or searches are black or Latino. This data doesn’t tell us what races the people using fake license plates are. It looks like stops and summonses are issued roughly proportionally to racial demographics. I’m not sure if people are getting arrested for forgery.
The headline doesn’t point out that stops and summons are roughly proportional to population demographics. It just highlights the searches and arrests.
