Cleveland Police Stop and Search Black Drivers at Higher Rates Despite DOJ Oversight.

A review of 17,000 Cleveland police stops shows Black people are searched three times as often, yet White people have contraband at near equal rates.

This article was published in partnership with The Marshall Project, a nonprofit news organization covering the U.S. criminal justice system, and News 5 Cleveland.

Cleveland police searched Black people more than three times as often as White people during stops in 2023 — despite finding contraband at similar rates, a Marshall Project – Cleveland and WEWS News 5 analysis found.

The analysis examined the race of people stopped by Cleveland officers and was developed using data the city was required to provide under a consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice in 2015, following years of excessive force complaints and paying millions of dollars in lawsuit settlements and judgments for police misconduct.

Using records of nearly 17,000 police encounters, the analysis shows officers often used low-level offenses like broken taillights or tinted windows to search Black people, who were stopped overall at twice the rate of White people.

Black Clevelanders have had a simmering distrust of police that first emerged in the 1960s with the Hough Riots. The city has experienced several high-profile, fatal encounters involving White officers in the past decade, leading to the federal intervention and oversight.

More than a dozen Black people told The Marshall Project – Cleveland and WEWS News 5 that they believed police targeted them for minor violations to look for larger crimes.

“It has something to do with the color of our skin,” said Vanika Burks, who was stopped four times in 2023. “I can’t see it any other way. I should get treated just the way everybody else should.”
