| | COURT TV ONLINE - ACLU Racial Profiling Suit |
 | | Due to the supervisory defendants' inaction, plaintiffs, and the class they represent, have suffered, and continue to suffer, violations of their rights to equal protection of the laws, to be free from unreasonable government searches and seizures, and to travel interstate. |
 | | The class which plaintiffs seek to represent consists of all innocent minority motorists who have been since January 1, 1993, or who will be in the future, illegally stopped, detained, and/or searched by Maryland state troopers along Interstate 95, without just cause and based upon their race and/or national origin. |
 | | This action is properly maintained as a class action inasmuch as the questions of law and fact common to the members of the class predominate over any questions affecting only individual members, and a class action is superior to other available methods for the fair and efficient adjudication of the controversy. |
