The traffic stop records, which were obtained by the ACLU and the Asian Law Caucus, showed that though Asians make up just 2.6% of the population in the county, they accounted for 27.4% of all traffic stops in 2021 in which officials identified the people stopped.

The data also shows that that more than 61% of the people the sheriff referred for prosecution for violations of the water ordinance were Asian American. Only 8% were white, though white people comprise 75% of the county’s population.

“Based on the records produced by the county, it appears the sheriff rarely ever refers white people to the district attorney for violating the water transportation ordinance or water extraction ordinance,” the groups said in a brief filed with a federal court.

John Do, a staff attorney with the ACLU, said his group spoke with dozens of residents of the subdivision who said they were stopped by police without a cause.

“It is across the board,” he said. “All the data we’ve examined thus far indicates the targeting of the Asian community and the Hmong community.”

Labels aren’t backed by testing

The problem, as Price and his co-authors explain, is that there is no real enforcement mechanism to prove whether meat producers are adhering to claims of raising animals without antibiotics.

Producers who want to market their products under these labels do have to submit to the USDA descriptions of the controls they’ll use to ensure that animals are not given antibiotics, along with their protocol for tracing and segregating RWA products and a signed affidavit describing how the animals were raised to support the label claims. Sick animals that require antibiotics to treat an infection are supposed to be segregated, and can no longer be sold under the RWA label.
