Editing Driving while black (section)

=== Florida ===
The American Civil Liberties Union reported that in 2014, Florida-resident black drivers received nearly 22 percent of all seat belt citations even though they made up only 13.5 percent of that state's drivers. Seat belt compliance was 91.5 percent for white drivers versus 85.8 percent for black drivers, a difference too small to explain the different rate of ticketing between black and white drivers.{{clarify|reason=The ticketing rate for white people is not given in this article, only for blacks (which means subtracting from 100% gets you the rate for non-blacks, not for whites)|date=January 2023}} The ACLU analysis showed that black drivers would have had over 14,000 fewer seat belt citations if they were ticketed proportionally to total drivers in Florida. The rate that black drivers are ticketed more often than white drivers is four times more in Escambia County, three times more in Palm Beach County and 2.8 times more in Orange County. In Tampa, black drivers received 575 seat belt citations versus 549 for white drivers even though black people make up only 23 percent of Tampa's population.<ref name="HP-2016-01-21">{{cite web|url=https://www.aclu.org/sites/default/files/field_document/racial_disparities_in_florida_safety_belt_law_enforcement.pdf|title=Racial Disparities in Florida Safety Belt Law Enforcement|date=21 January 2016}}</ref>
