Starlight tours is a name for the non-legally sanctioned police practice of picking up individuals in their cruisers, mostly homeless, minorities, drug addicts, or other such marginalized people, and taking them outside of town where they would be beaten and/or abandoned on the side of the road. In certain regions in Canada, starlight tours are a relatively frequent occurrence. Following the case of the 1990 death of Neil Stonechild - allegedly a result of a starlight tour - the practice is becoming a major national issue.
