=== Maryland === In ''[[Robert L. Wilkins#Wilkins v. Maryland State Police|Robert L. Wilkins, et al. v. Maryland State Police, et al.]]'' (1993), the ACLU sued the Maryland State Police for racial profiling of then defense attorney Robert L. Wilkins. Part of the settlement agreement between the parties held that the state of Maryland had to maintain racial statistics regarding its traffic stops, making Maryland the first to do so.<ref>[http://www.aclu-md.org/blog/2014/09/16/a_tribute_to_judge_robert_l_wilkins "ACLU of Maryland (ACLU-MD)"]. ''www.aclu-md.org''. Retrieved 2017-03-14.</ref> The case started a "national conversation on racial profiling" and was seen as a large victory by the ACLU.<ref>[https://www.aclu.org/news/aclu-civil-rights-groups-and-maryland-officials-reach-landmark-racial-profiling-settlement "ACLU, Civil Rights Groups and Maryland Officials Reach Landmark Racial Profiling Settlement"].
