MY OPINION:
 "Kerns said the department has received no negative opinions about the program..." because those with a different opinion apparently were not asked about it. I think this is another $1.2 million waste of money. How can OBJECTIVE data be collected from SUBJECTIVE observations made during traffic stops? All I see this program accomplishing is teaching officers to pigeonhole people into one of four generic classifications...White, Black, Hispanic, or Asian. I also see this leading to inaccurate information as officers may feel pressure to record a person as "White" simply because that classification seems less likely to get complaints from.
