Policing the Open Road with Sarah Seo
Professor Sarah Seo of Columbia University will be presenting a talk for North Coast audiences entitled “Policing the Open Road.” The talk will be based on Professor Seo’s award-winning 2019 book of the same name, which documents how the rise of the automobile in the first half of the 20th century led to a dramatic expansion of police departments in America, and to courts granting wide law enforcement discretion to police. The discriminatory patterns of policing seen in America today are in part a legacy of this legal, political and technological history.

Sponsored by Coalition for Responsible Transportation Priorities, EPIC, Centro Del Pueblo, Northcoast Environmental Center and 350 Humboldt.
