Legal scholars are becoming increasingly interested in how the literature on implicit bias helps explain illegal discrimination.

The Supreme Court rejected the claim, upholding the constitutionality of pretextual stops based on probable cause and noting that claims of racial discrimination must be challenged under the Equal Protection Clause. …
