A #HumanRights organization is calling for an #IndependentInquiry into #Montreal #police #SPVM after emails show what appears to be the force interfering with an independent report looking into the practice of #StreetChecks.

The independent study was commissioned by the SPVM.

A group of several #researchers from different #Quebec universities published the study in 2023 and found that #racialized people are disproportionately targeted by the practice and that a #moratorium should be imposed.

But the most shocking part of the study wasn’t the findings — it is what high-ranking officials within the force appeared to do to change that conclusion.
