Constable Martinez files required racial profiling report to court
Summary
Constable Albert Martinez presented the county's traffic-stop racial profiling statistics as required by statute and filed the report with the court; no anomalies or specific follow-up were requested.
Constable Albert Martinez presented the annual racial profiling report on traffic stops, noting the report had been submitted to the Texas entity to which such reports are filed (referenced in the meeting as "TECO") and that data include documented stops, warnings and the usual categories for gender and race.
Martinez told the court the report must be filed by law and that exemptions may be filed for qualified incidents, but the report as presented covers documented traffic stops for the year. Commissioners asked whether anything out of the ordinary appeared; Martinez said the stops were regular and documented and that warnings are included in the report.
Ending: The court accepted the report as presented; no formal action beyond filing was recorded in the transcript.
