Officers must collect the age, zip code, gender and ethnicity of the driver and passengers. They also must collect the reason and outcome of the stop, and if and why a search was conducted, among other things.

Get any black/african american person to talk, and they will tell you the answer is yes. I can see the difference in the way officers handle high school kids too.
Sadly, I'm not sure taking information will put an end to it.
I still say that the real problem is in their culture. They need to clean house: stress the value of education, working, caring for children, and stress family, etc. I really feel badly for those who do and are judged before they even open their mouths.
I don't know about how the police handle people of color, but I know there is racial hatred in Racine. I hear it from whites and blacks. I don't hear it much from Hispanics, but that's probably because they're doing it in Spanish.
Due to an unfortunate turn of events I have had the time to lay around and listen to the police radio. From what I can ‘read’ into the calls, the time of day makes a huge difference!
During the day during the week most calls are vehicle related both blacks and whites alike, speeding etc. or the police are looking for someone. A little later in the day 3pm on violence picks up and the majority is black males, fights, theft, spousal abuse, girl fiend abuse and a list of stupid things they are doing or did which can land them in the poky.
Around 10 – 11pm until about 2am there appears to be lots of white women and the majority again, vehicle violations.
From midnight to early am 5 – 6 there are a lot of family and boy friend/girl friend problems with at least one of them intoxicated and many of them with a weapon, mostly a knife, and the majority is black.
These are purely my comments!
