Looks like Governor Blackface of Virginia (Ralph Northam) is up to his old racist ways again. He signed a bill that will force ALL police officers in Virginia to ask racial questions of anyone who is pulled over for a routine traffic stop. The effort according to state Democrats is to “collect information.” Is this even legal?

Anyone who gets pulled over in Virginia will now be subjected to a series of racial questions thanks to a new law called The Community Policing Act.
For years we have been told that asking about race is considered a microaggression — not exactly racist, but with racist undertones. Now police officers will be required to ask such questions each time they make a traffic stop in order to collect information to prove whether or not their department is racist.
WTOP reported that sheriffs, local police officers, and state police officers will now ask drivers about their race, ethnicity, and gender to compile data that will be used to determine if police departments disproportionately target certain groups.
The politician who sponsored the bill, Del. Luke Torian (D-Prince William County) told legislators while considering the bill that it would prohibit “law enforcement officers from engaging in bias-based profiling.”
