Arizona sheriff’s racial profiling policies will cost state $21million

via The Satanic Capitalist | rtamerica: Arizona sheriff’s racial profiling….

Arizona taxpayers are

expected to pay roughly $21 million in order to implement changes stemming from a court ruling that found local law enforcement racially profiled Latino residents during traffic and immigration stops.

The money will be paid out over the next year and a half, though the penalties won’t stop there under the ruling against Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s office. Beginning in 2015, Maricopa County will have to pay an additional $10 million a year in order to maintain the changes for as long as the office is placed under the judge’s order.
