Racial Profiling Lives On

It's amazing that even today in 21st century America, the "most free place in the world", racial profiling and discrimination is still an issue. The article Racial Profiling Lives On is about the controversery of a Supreme Court ruling that New York Police officers have the right to pursue African-Americans and Latinos with little or no basis of illegal activity. This quote shows the reason of its controversy, "Despite the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, the Supreme Court’s interpretation of that provision gives the police frighteningly wide discretion to follow, stop, question, frisk and employ excessive force against African-Americans and Latinos who have shown virtually no indication of wrongdoing." Police have the right to specifically target individuals for search and seizure simply based on race. Even if they look like a specific race, they would still be labeled as it.
