The United States, or an individual injured by racial profiling, may enforce this subtitle in a civil action for declaratory or injunctive relief, filed either in a State court of general jurisdiction or in a district court of the United States. In any action brought under this subtitle, relief may be obtained against— any governmental body that employed any law enforcement agent who engaged in racial profiling; any agent of such body who engaged in racial profiling; and any person with supervisory authority over such agent.
Proof that the routine or spontaneous investigatory activities of law enforcement agents in a jurisdiction have had a disparate impact on individuals with a particular characteristic described in section 1302(7) shall constitute prima facie evidence of a violation of this subtitle. In any action or proceeding to enforce this subtitle against any governmental body, the court may allow a prevailing plaintiff, other than the United States, reasonable attorney’s fees as part of the costs, and may include expert fees as part of the attorney’s fee.
