A federal lawsuit filed by a Black New Orleans resident who accuses police officers of making an illegal, racially motivated traffic stop last year is raising new concerns about quasi-public neighborhood security districts formed under state law.
The lawsuit filed on behalf of Bilal Hankins by the ACLU of Louisiana accuses officers working for the Hurstville Security and Neighborhood Improvement District of pulling over a car driven by Hankins, who had two friends with him. Hankins had previously sought the help of one of the officers, Kevin Wheeler, in a search for a lost dog.
Wheeler and Officer Ramon Pierre are accused in the complaint of questioning Hankins and his two friends at gunpoint and accusing them of lying about the lost dog, which was found the following day, according to the lawsuit. A third supervising officer, Lt. Carl Perilloux, is also listed as a defendant.
