This week, a troubling piece of legislation, HB 237, passed its 3rd reading. We are deeply concerned about the implications of this bill, which enhances punishment for crimes based on how a person is dressed. 🧵 Image
The provisions of the bill that ascribe intent to clothing are confusing and will unfairly result in disparate treatment under the law. Particularly given the inclusion of hoods in the legislation, HB 237 is likely to result in racially biased sentencing.
It's no secret that Black men and boys are disproportionately profiled for their choice of clothing. For example, a young Black man wearing a hoodie is far more likely to be viewed as having the intent to hide his identity than a white woman wearing the same thing.
