According to the report I saw. The original decision came about because someone complained and only seven of so of retards showed up and the board member were to stupid to think for themselves. Anyway, that's what I saw and it seems plausible to me. But I'd suggest you call 1-877-6-PROFILE on the aclu nickle and tell them about ACLU Ad: Win Big Bucks With Profiling Suit In fact, the ACLU has taken a new tack, placing billboard ads along the New Jersey Turnpike hyping the possibility of winning monetary damages for those who have been unfairly targeted. In a promotion reminiscent of a Publisher's Clearing House "You may have already won..." come-on, the ACLU proclaims: "Stopped or searched by the New Jersey State Police? They admit to racial profiling. You might win money damages. Call the A.C.L.U. hot line: 1-877-6-PROFILE." "We hope the billboard will bring new lawsuits that will help the A.C.L.U. once and for all put the lid on racial profiling in New Jersey," said King Downing, coordinator of the group's campaign against racial profiling, in comments to the Associated Press. newsmax.com tom watson tosiwmee
