Wilkins driving while black case advances to DC Circuit
Maryland trooper stopped the Wilkins family driving home from a funeral for speeding 60 in a 40 zone. A drug dog search followed after refusal of a canine search. Wilkins, then a public defender, has used the case to push against racial profiling in drug enforcement. The incident, dated May 8 1992, prompted extended litigation and helped shape his nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
