Kansas law on racial profiling lacks enforcement teeth
Kansas police agencies largely ignore a 2005 anti-profiling law that requires annual race based traffic stop reports. Only 147 of 431 agencies filed last year. Missouri towns with tougher penalties show higher compliance. The law also created a Governor's Task Force on Racial Profiling, which has struggled to meet and act amid calls for concrete action.
