Editing Miami Shores, Florida (section)

=== Alleged racial discrimination in seatbelt ticketing ===
Following the January 2016 report "Racial Disparities in Florida Safety Belt Law Enforcement", published by the [[ACLU]] (which did not mention Miami Shores), local CBS-affiliate station WFOR-TV gathered additional statistics from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. One sentence in the report noted that "in Miami Shores, there were 261 seat belt citations issued with 186 [(71%)] going to blacks."<ref>[http://miami.cbslocal.com/2016/01/26/aclu-blacks-ticketed-for-seat-belts-twice-rate-of-whites-in-florida/ ACLU: Blacks Ticketed for Seat Belts Twice Rate of Whites in Florida] CBS4 January 26, 2016</ref> The report did not discuss whether any of the drivers were initially stopped for other violations. It also failed to note the area's large African American population. At the time, the population of Miami Shores was roughly 24% African American, as compared to 18.9% for Miami-Dade County and 16.31% for Florida as a whole. More significantly, though, the neighborhoods surrounding Miami Shores have large African American majorities. For example, [[North Miami]]'s population is roughly six times that of Miami Shores, 58.9% being African American (i.e., the African American population of North Miami is more than three times the total population of Miami Shores). Other nearby neighborhoods include [[Little Haiti]] (64.9% African American), [[West Little River, Florida|West Little River]] (57.2% African American), [[Gladeview, Florida|Gladeview]] (76.98% African American), and [[Westview, Florida|Westview]] (75.6% African American).
