Report for Montreal police calls for moratorium on street checks

A new report commissioned by the Montreal police concludes that when officers stop people without cause it disproportionately racialized minorities. The report’s author says that alienates people and there is no evidence the practice decisively reduces criminality. As Global’s Gloria Henriquez reports, Montreal Police Chief Fady Dagher says he won’t heed the report’s recommendation to place a moratorium on the practice.
