| WHAT: | As part of the hearings on
racial profiling, the San Francisco Police Commission is holding a hearing on
the practice of “consent searches.” A consent search is when the police officers
ask permission to search in individual in the absence of probable cause. Civil
Rights and community groups say that the searches are discriminatory. In San
Francisco, data collected by the police shows African Americans are twice as
likely to be searched as whites. The hearings are the result of community
pressure from a wide-array of groups concerned about racial profiling.
