Also tonight, there's dissension in the ranks at the New Jersey State Police.

Three unions representing troopers are suing Attorney General Matt Platkin to block his investigation into whether police intentionally cut back on traffic stops in response to claims of racial profiling.

As first reported by NJ Monitor, the unions are arguing the investigation is retaliatory and unconstitutional, claiming the state police is already under strict oversight.

They want a judge to dismiss subpoenas issued by Platkins office.

The legal clash follows a 2023 report showing troopers disproportionately stopped and used force on black and Hispanic drivers.

Last year, an investigation by the New York Times discovered traffic stops dropped significantly during the eight months after unions warned troopers their stops would be looked at more closely.

Unions, though, denied wrongdoing.

In June, several lawmakers introduced a bill to remove the state police from the attorney general's oversight, just as union leadership filed an initial complaint against the Murphy administration for what they called continuous attacks.
