Isn't pulling over red pickups because of an Amber alert involving a red pickup, "profiling"?

RE:every white guy that gets pulled over also has to be asked for proof of legal residence

Every time I have ever been pulled over, I have had to show a driver's license. What is the big deal?


What's the big deal? A driver's license doesn't cut it for Latinos. They have to show their birth cert.

Let me rephrase. If a white guy is jaywalking and gets ticketed, or is at home and gets a visit from the police due to some domestic dispute, the cops will now have to ask for proof of legal residence. You know, equal treatment and all that.

Basically, if you do it to a Hispanic person, you have to do it to everyone. All because profiling is worse than illegal immigrants being allowed to stay here.
