Racial Profiling Lives On Notes

  • Officers tend to harass minorities due to racial profiling.
  • An officer is more likely to stop a African American or Latino before a white person.
  • Crime rates are significantly higher for minorities but that's due to officers who patrol and frisk low in come/ high crime rate areas which are usually home to minorities.
  • Officers will try and find and excuse to stop a minority.
  • People don't have the right to know that they can refuse a request to conduct a search. This causes people to give themselves up to search.
  • Immigration laws cause most Latinos to be stopped and checked of documents just by suspicion.
  • Even if the officer was to use what the suspect would call "excessive force" court would appeal to the officer because it is there judgment.
  • As long as an officer has reasonable excuse for why they stopped someone, it is constitutional and there's no proof against and officer who is supposedly using racial profiling.
