re: #178 Dark_Falcon
That was the area in question. My point was about how a lawsuit concerning St. Louis County might fare, I wasn’t trying to make a more generalized point about America.
I’m sorry I failed to communicate clearly.
We also have the point from the excerpt you cite that the black-run townships have a level of traffic fine abuse that is modest by St Louis county standards.
That’s enough to give a race-based civil right case some legs.
Furthermore, there’s no logical reason the Federal case has to be exclusively race based. A municipality is not entitled to make a mockery of due process of law by state-level sloth even if said mockery may not be racist.
