People: Trans People and Street Checks

people: Yet discussions about racial profiling, including the long-assailed police practice of street checks, also known as carding, rarely mention the experiences of women or trans people, according to NOW Magazine. Last week, the Toronto Police Services Board shuffled the deck yet again on carding, voting to adopt new rules for interactions with the public that critics say will do little to stop racial profiling. And a quarter of trans people in Canada, most of them people of colour, report having been harassed by police. The board also voted not to destroy data gathered from the stopping of individuals in the past. How can we achieve equality if we downplay the true reach of systemic racism The problem begins with what we mean by racial profiling. But by focusing only on the ways Black men experience racism from law enforcement across Ontario, and sidelining the experiences of women and non-binary people, racial profiling has been presented as one-dimensional.
