I've seen body cam footage of the "less reputable" category of cops.
The likelihood that drugs get planted in your car during a search (whether legitimate search or not) screws up all of these collected stats and just like most things in this country, there is a racist component to this that helps more easily target the poorer and browner.
Terrorizing black people is a national pastime and somewhat tradition... some cops seem to want to continue that tradition and many white legislators are glad to give them the opportunity. For them, ignoring this research is a no-brainer.
