As I understand racial profiling - that would be if there was questioning/contact based *ONLY* on her looks - for example, the police were in the area, saw her (or another hispanic, or black, or asian...etc) but in this case (and I think Arizona is the same way) the question of immigration only comes AFTER contact has begun for some OTHER reason - speeding, domestic abuse, tresspassing, etc...
I think criminals see the benefit of playing the race card to avoid scrutiny...if it's between midnight and 5am, very few law-abiding people are out of their houses, but if they happen to be questioned by police, immediately it is racial profiling, even though at least half of police officers (I'd guess 80%) would stop and question ANYONE under those circumstances...like I said, carry ID, willing show it, you will most likely be checked for outstanding warrants, and if none are found, you will be free to go...don't stop and argue - "why do you need to see my ID?" because that is what a criminal would do, and now, you have made yourself look like a criminal! (even if you aren't one) |

By AnthonyX - anthonyx@jowc.net Tue 10/08/10 11:28:12 GMT I guess one has to ask the question: what is the difference between a padded bra and a bikini top, as it relates to public decency in setting such as a public water feature?
It seems more and more like the complainant was a troublemaker who acted without cause, and the police/city were on some sort of "fishing expedition" with regard to their database. If they thought she might be an illegal alien, doesn't that smack of racial profiling (a highly contentious issue in Canada)?

By Drdamp - Tue 10/08/10 03:38:28 GMT Check out the story here. Poor woman. Note that her bra was padded, so her nipples would not be showing anyway! I hope she sues successfully.
