When Jim Florio took office in 1990, he received complaints about troopers targeting black and Hispanic drivers.

Of the 11 searches conducted between May 1 and Oct. 31, 10 involved black or Hispanic drivers, according to the new statistics.

The only Hispanic driver to ever work for Society was robbed and locked in the trunk of his car, in his first week.

"Hispanic" drivers, on the other hand, were convinced that "Anglo" judges were unfair because they would not dismiss charges due to extenuating circumstances.

Last month, a different grand jury accused the two troopers of falsifying official documents and reporting that black and Hispanic drivers they had stopped were white.

An earlier report acknowledged that state troopers systematically discriminated against black and Hispanic drivers.

Ninety percent of those whose money was confiscated were black or Hispanic drivers stopped for minor traffic violations.

Yet 10 years ago, a Hispanic driver like Jourdain would have gone begging for a ride in the sport.

Some critics, however, say many state police forces disproportionately search cars with young black or Hispanic drivers.

But the combined total of white and Hispanic drivers was the same in both studies, as was the number of blacks.
