Immigrants complain of Delaware town’s crackdown on out-of-state tags

“A new law, under which Elsmere police are targeting vehicles with out-of-state tags, amounts to racial profiling, according to critics.

State law requires residents to register their vehicles within 60 days, but it is typically enforced only when accompanied by a traffic violation. The new Elsmere ordinance allows police to ticket a car parked on a public street. Police are aided by an electronic database which tracks which vehicles have been in the town for 60 days or more”
