Driving while Hispanic resulted in a traffic stop admits a prosecutor.
A court prosecutor in Kentucky is in hot water after being caught on tape admitting that the ethnicity of a young Hispanic was “probably cause” to being pulled over. A courtroom video was made public by the The Courier-Journal.
The Bluegrass State may not be known for its diversity, but as Mauro Martinez appeared in court for receiving a speeding ticket, Oldham Country prosecutor John K. Carter can be heard very clearly expressing his true thoughts on the subject. After the defense claims that Martinez was stopped “because he was Hispanic”, Carter can be heard saying “That’s probable cause”.
