Our City borders multiple other municipalities and jurisdictions, which are interconnected with the remaining 80-90 specifically identifiable areas within St. Louis County. Transient motorists are a commonality on the state, county, and municipal roadway systems within our City making it a major crossroads that is consistently accessed by non- residents. During this period, Non-Resident Stops represented approximately 89% of the total vehicle stops in our City (Table 4). The Location of Stop is primarily on County roadways at a total rate of 61%. County roadways are the major thoroughfares used to pass through our jurisdiction by non-residents (Table 4). This belief is also supported by Table 2, whereas 89% of the total stops (White 90%, Black 89%, Native American 100%, and Other 91%) were not residents of the City at the time of the stop. Information gathered on resident, ethic, gender, and age status may be misrepresented by the driver at the time of the stop. The data does not include measurable information such as 1) the volume of total non-resident motorists and 2) the volume of individual ethnic groups, gender, and age groups among the volume of the total non-resident motorist group and 3) the exclusion of motorists who do not have a driver's license which implies that every individual age 16+ has a driver's license and drives a vehicle. This also excludes individuals between ages 15 and 16 that are permitted by law to obtain a driver's license permit to drive

a vehicle. The Vehicle Stops Report is open to extremely broad and very shallow conclusions as the interpretations of the outcomes provided cannot give rise to any legitimate and credible argument of such since this can neither be proven or disproven. The margin for error in the report has a high probability for misrepresentation in its findings.
