And while I am sure that there are already rules concerning racial profiling those are the kinds of things that actually wind up helping the defense lawyers of bad guys get off rather than really stopping the abuse. You cant legislate morality. Racism sucks but making issues of race in every black/white encounter doesnt help.

O.K., I will give you a situation that took place about 15 years ago. I had this Red Dodge Stealth(engine blew about 3 years later...notice how you don't see many anymore?) This Black dude wanted to drive it on the way back from somewhere. So, I sat in the passenger seat. We were almost home when a cop passed us going the opposite direction. So, we parked in the driveway. The cop drives up, and he gets out. He asked me "Is that your car?" I said "yes," and the cop got back in his car. Then, he just drove away. I think they would usually say "You 2 fit a description blah, blah, blah," but maybe he was in a hurry.
