Many of the “over-reported records” in the audit were because of bad data entry processes, "rather than intentional falsification of traffic stop data,” said the report, commissioned by Gov. The investigators, however, also said they found “significant failures” by state police in reporting accurate traffic stop information to a statewide databased used to analyze any potential racial profiling by police. The audit said 130 troopers had been identified as having a significant disparity between traffic stop information submitted to the database compared with the court system. State police have been reviewing the traffic citation data. What we have seen is information that provides explanations for why some of the data may have been inaccurate.”

It recorded at least 26,000 fake tickets over a five-year period, involving hundreds of officers. The figures skewed racial profiling data to appear like more white people were being stopped. One trooper singlehandedly logged 1,350 fake tickets between 2014 and 2017, the audit, released late last month, revealed. As a result, police skewed racial profiling records, making it appear that more white people had been stopped than was the reality, it said. It was unclear if the fake tickets were deliberately falsified or were the result of human error, it said.
