Its some silly law or concept called habeus corpus, something silly like a US constitution er some darn thing the American people got in dem laws the cops swore to uphold and whatnot, junior.


Your are so right.... cops can't just target people by their looks..

The majority don't but, as in war, they have to start somewhere and racial profiling can't be avoided in any type of social interaction, legal or not. To think it could be is ridiculous. People strive for a cultural identity and when that individuality is recognized and used by police, its seen as abusive. Racial groups just can't have it all their way in a foreign culture.

WTF...I find myself actually agreeing with gnukid! Cops need to PROVE probable cause before snatching anyone, citizens of ultimately people who cannot prove citizenship. Otherwise WE ARE ALL potential arrestable for no probable cause.

The key word is BEFORE.... snatching anyone. Otherwise it is a crime. That is the law, and that's why they "catch and release" so many times.

We are all potentially arrestable... in fact we are. Look at what happens at airports when they select passengers for second screening. They go by "whoever is next in line when the screener is ready for the next one"... it doesn't matter if it is an old sweet lady. They can't discriminate ... it has to be random. That is the policy. Now in practicality, yes, there are those racist cops who will twist, bend and break the law. We just can't help that.

Are we arrestable on the street? If they profile and you are not "legally blond" ... yes. If they don't profile then it doesn't matter what kind of pup you are... you'll probably be questioned and inconvenienced.
