Think back to last year and the thread about racial profiling at Calgary nightclubs. Look at how people felt when they were "profiled" and frequently not let into those clubs. Now expand that profiling to include lots of everyday actions. I contend that this will make things worse.
I never said I would assume them to be guilty. What I am saying is 'more likely to commit a certain crime'. I think that's a big difference.



As far as feeling persecuted at a nightclub, wasn't that one of Sundeep's thread? I kind of think that kills off all credibilty.
