The Maryland State police has not, does not, nor will it ever condone the use of race-based profiling" in determining which cars to stop on the highway. Chief State Trooper Colonel David Mitchell issued this statement in response to a lawsuit filed against the Maryland State Troopers. The suit was filed on behalf of African-American motorists who alleged that these officers had engaged in a practice of targeting black motorists for traffic stops along Interstate 95. To support their claim, the plaintiffs presented statistics that strongly contradicted Mitchell's statement relating to the use of racial profiling in traffic stops. Using the state trooper's own records, a pattern of discriminatory law enforcement was presented to the court. From 1995 to 1997, 75% of drivers who traveled through Maryland along the I-95 were white, but more than 70% of those who were stopped and searched along this highway were black. This undeniable pattern of race-based stops by the Maryland police is a dilemma that millions of African-American and Latino-American motorists regularly encounter on this country's highways. .
This phenomenon has been dubbed as "DWB" (Driving While Black or Brown). This play on words of DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) refers to the commonly employed police practice of using an alleged traffic violation as a pretext to stop any black or Hispanic motorist they suspect of being involved in criminal activity. These officers have no legal cause for carrying out the stop besides enforcing traffic regulations. Being subjected to a driving while black stop is, according to House Representative John Conyers Jr., "an experience that virtually every African-American male has been subjected to." .
