January 14, 2015 Blacks were disproportionately stopped and more likely to be asked for consent for vehicle searches during traffic stops in 2013 in Elgin, but police say there is no indication that's due to racial profiling. "Frankly, we see that pretty typically, both in the statewide numbers and as we look at the communities across the state of Illinois,"said Ed Yohnka, director of communications for the American Civil Liberties of Illinois.
