This July 29, 2010, photo, shows sheriff's deputies in Maricopa County, Arizona, frisking a suspect in one of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's traffic patrols that targeted immigrants. Officers at the sheriff's office in metro Phoenix have made 52% fewer traffic stops in the years since a judge concluded they had racially profiled Latinos in then-Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s immigration patrols. Arpaio’s successor, Sheriff Paul Penzone, and others tell The Associated Press that the decrease is driven by officers’ fears that they’ll be unfairly scrutinized in a court-ordered overhaul that’s aimed at ridding the agency of its biased policing.
