Suffolk County police have begun recording the race of drivers they stop for traffic violations to check for evidence of racial profiling.
Officers in two dozen Suffolk patrol units along the Long Island Expressway and Sunrise Highway have been asked to make a visual determination about the driver's race and record it in their report.
This initiative will take place for the next several months. County officials say they will be able to develop a database, take a look at the numbers and see if profiling is taking place.
