What is Racial Profiling?

Racial profiling is when law enforcement representatives prejudge an individual based upon their ethnicity.  When police, search more black or hispanics than white suspects presuming they will find weapons or drugs, that is racial profiling.  When no clear reason to believe they are involved in any crime is found, they are often charged with petty vehicular offenses.  Although the police departments state that they do not use racial profiling, their stats prove they do.
