In November last year, the Superior Court of Quebec issued a landmark decision, finding that police roadside interceptions are often based on skin colour rather than on road safety objectives. Judge Michel Yergeau ruled that the law allowing for such arbitrary detention can no longer stand. The case was brought by Joseph-Christopher Luamba, a 22 year old black Montrealer, who told the court he prepares to pull over whenever he sees a police cruiser. We spoke last fall with Laura Berger, staff lawyer with the Canadian Civil Liberties association, an intervenor in the case.
