During the meeting of the Public Safety Committee, held in Montreal on August 11, the director of LAKAY made a clear request: that the Montreal Police Service (SPVM) implement the only recommendation made by the experts which explicitly calls for a moratorium on police stops.<\/p>\n
For LAKAY, racial profiling doesn't necessarily begin with an arrest. It can start with a simple question: "Where are you going?", "What are you doing here?", or "Why are you here?". These interventions, when they disproportionately target certain communities, can contribute to creating a climate of mistrust and insecurity.<\/p>\n
In Montreal, but also in Repentigny, Terrebonne and several other communities in Quebec, racialized people continue to face the consequences of racial profiling and discriminatory police practices.<\/p>\n
LAKAY believes it is now time to move from commitments to concrete actions. A moratorium on police stops must be accompanied by a review of police practices, transparent accountability, and measures aimed at sustainably restoring trust between communities and police services.<\/p>\n
Racial profiling is not just a Montreal issue. It is a problem that concerns all of Quebec and requires a province-wide response.<\/p>\n
LAKAY therefore reiterates its demand: a moratorium on police stops throughout Quebec.<\/strong><\/p>\n Also read: Report: Municipal inaction in the face of racial profiling in Repentigny (2017-2021)<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n LAKAY<\/strong> Before the Montreal Public Security Committee on August 11, 2026, LAKAY asked the SPVM to implement the experts' recommendation calling for a moratorium on police stops.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":119710,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actualites"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119709"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119709\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":119711,"href":"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119709\/revisions\/119711"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
