what do Police Officers need to conduct investigations that would not be considered or viewed as ‘racial profiling’?

For this discussion, you will explore the issue of racial profiling. According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), racial profiling is “when law enforcement and private security target people of color for humiliating and often frightening detentions, interrogations, and searches without evidence of criminal activity and based on perceived race, ethnicity, national origin, or religion” (2019).

The U.S. Supreme Court has historically upheld the constitutionality of racial profiling. However, numerous groups, including the ACLU, believe otherwise. In fact, in 2003, the U.S. Department of Justice forbade any racial profiling by its federal officers. Regardless of its constitutionality, which is arguable, law enforcement officers still may possess implicit biases that could lead to data discrepancies between who is stopped, arrested, or formally charged.

For this discussion, consider if and how racial profiling by law enforcement officers can be regulated.

For your initial post, address the following questions:

Based upon the readings, what do Police Officers need to conduct investigations that would not be considered or viewed as ‘racial profiling’?
How can police behavior be “lawful” but not legitimate?
Is it constitutional to regulate racial profiling in law enforcement agencies? Why or why not?
