quote [ Since 2013, the Tampa Police Department has taken a hands-on role at more than 100 apartment communities, sending notices to landlords when their tenants are arrested or stopped by officers and encouraging their eviction.

The program, known as Crime-Free Multi Housing, was marketed to landlords as a way to keep violent crime and drug and gang activity off their properties.

...

But the program also swept up more than 100 people who were arrested for misdemeanors ? and dozens more whose charges were later dropped, a Tampa Bay Times investigation has found.

...

And roughly 90 percent of the 1,100 people flagged by the program were Black, police records show. That?s despite Black residents making up only 54 percent of all arrests in Tampa over the past eight years. ]
