Meghan McGlone - Fresh Take Florida

A new investigation of a new law that allows police and sheriff's deputies in Florida to ticket drivers for loud music shows that Black drivers are nearly three times more likely than white drivers to be punished. The investigation, conducted in the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications, examined 844 loud music tickets statewide since last year. It found that Black drivers received almost 37% of the tickets, despite making up only about 16% of Florida's driving-eligible population.
