Peace Officer Vs. Police Officer | Casida 2012

Peace Officer Vs. Police Officer | Casida 2012 | Gender and Crime | Scoop.it
Here's an interesting perspective that we don't see much in Alaska, but is common in the Western States of the Lower 48. Is this a potential solution to racial profiling? The Wren case essentially allows pre-text stops for minor violations even though the officer may subjectively really intend to use the stop to uncover another crime (e.g. drugs, weapons, etc.), thus officers use minor traffic violations to stop people who "look" like criminals. By shifting minor offences to a traffic force, would we eliminate the actual or threat of racial profiling?
