Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 20 Sep, 2019 07:13 PM

    VAUGHAN, Ont. - Ontario's Human Rights Commission says racial profiling in law enforcement is profoundly harmful.

     

    It says the police practice hurts black, Indigenous and other racialized communities.

     

    The commission today released a new policy on eliminating racial profiling based on a report called Under Suspicion.

    It says it's the first such policy in the country.

     

    Recommendations include acknowledging the problem, collecting data on police stops and independent accountability.

     

    It also calls for officers to wear body cameras.
