The San Francisco Police Department (http://thepoliticalforums.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=bayarea&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=) has underreported the arrest rates of the city's two largest minority groups for years, classifying Latino arrestees as "white" and Asian American suspects as "other," according to agency records and police officials.

"This is just extremely troubling," Francisco Ugarte (http://thepoliticalforums.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=bayarea&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=), senior immigration attorney at the San Francisco Immigrant Legal and Education (http://www.sfgate.com/education-guide/) Network, said of the classification of Latinos as "white" and Asians as "other." "If San Francisco is effectively unable to categorize those in the city being arrested, that would undermine our ability to monitor police practices - particularly in San Francisco, with such a huge Latino population."
