Useless Paper Continues

It has become the program that wouldn't die:

• AdMin Fax #101916 issued on 10 June
  
  REFERENCE: Revision to Department Notice 07-15, entitled Illinois Traffic Stop Statistical Study
  
  This revision extends the expiration date of the above-referenced directive from 01 July 2010 to 1 July 2015.

So a program (created in part by then State Senator Obama) that was supposed to track the racial profiling that existed in the Chicago Police Department, but which in ended up proving that the only profiling taking place was Traffic Violating Profiling, has gotten a new lease on life to the tune of five additional years.

That's five more years of a printing contract for the stickers and five more years of data collection by a local university, thereby ensuring five more years of some government subsidy and five more years of "grants" for connected professors and grad students.
