Racial Profiling Lives On

•State of New York has a stop and Frisk policy

• In LA the judge ruled that it was unconstitutional

• The police are still able to find loopholes and ways to make stop and frisk legal

• officers can still follow, stalk, search, question and other things to anyone who seems suspicious
