Black and transgender people are more likely to be on the receiving end of body searches by California police, according to a report from California’s Racial and Identity Profiling Advisory Board. 

The report looked at stops by 18 law enforcement agencies on 2.9 million people last year, according to LGBTQ Nation.

“Officers searched, detained on the curb or in a patrol car, handcuffed and removed from vehicles more individuals perceived as Black than individuals perceived as white,” the report reads.  

The disparity could be seen as alarming since cops stopped double the amount of white people in the same period. According to LGBTQ Nation, the cops stopped 445,000 more white people in 2020 than Black people.  

Transgender women were 2.4 times more likely to be searched by authorities than cisgender women, per the report. Officers also handcuffed or detained trans women about 62% of the time after a stop.  

Black people were also 2.4 times more likely to be searched by law enforcement than their white counterparts.  

The advisory board recommended that law enforcement agencies take part in diversity training pertaining to the LGBTQ+ community, particularly in reducing anti-trans bias.
