[QUOTE=qwea00;49560734]Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I can tell this only means that in the case of everyday crime such as theft or burglary, the police will not report things like the suspects etnicity (Among other things) to the public [b]via their website[/b](There are apparently different regulations for officers in the field). The guy they're interviewing says that there are multiple reasons why they've chosen to not do this. The main thing he points out is how things like theft and burglary are so common that it has no effect at all for incoming tips.
So I guess they don't want to seem racist by releasing useless information just for the sake of it?[/QUOTE]
This information should be available regardless. If immigrants are more likely to commit crime, we should know.
