Police training actually encourages making people like that. saw it happen to 2 people I knew who went to the acadamy
i was watching that but it broke
huh?
to racially profile?
racial profiling is a very grey area...
yep, borked
like, that can't be the only reason..
if you are gonna use it, you only use it to observe if anything else comes out of it
it encourages cops to profile
you can't use racial profiling as the reason for the encounter, that's dumb and judges will toss your encounter as illegal
i.e. this area is generally very high in crime
well for using it as an indicator, that's valid imo..
or gang members wear these cloths to signal they are in the gang
where this is a high crime area and a black gang owns it, then a group of hispanics comes in wearing their gang style of clothing, you would be wary...
for me, i would take a slight deviation away >_>
who's more likely to commit a crime (in this case rob a convenient store), a grandmother wearing a Sunday dress or a 20 something (of any race) with a doo rag and baggy shorts?
or a well off person in a low income neighborhood stopping at a random house is rather suspicious in the middle of the night
well both or neither, but if the 20 something acts a certain way... i would pay attention
congratulations you profiled
Elderly actually do a ton of shoplifting
lmao
😛
doesn't matter
but if i reacted and did an encounter based on just that... then yea, i am in the wrong..
didn't get the profile
got lots of room in those granny panties
elderly people do steal
like they steal anything not bolted down..
they have nothing to lose
no one will send them to jail in most cases
once i saw an elderly stole a napkin dispenser in a restaurant..
juries wont convict, etc
I'm generalizing of course
Also they lead boring lives, and their brains are deteriorating making them make worse decisions
but still i would pay attention to both if the area is known to have shoplifting and they get hit daily
because it could also be a 9 yr old taking stuff because their mom is on the phone not giving a f about anything..
IF you saw a white person with a nice car pull into a house in a low income black neighborhood in the middle of the night that is known for drug dealing, then leave shortly there after, would you be in the wrong for stopping that car and asking whats going on? or is it reasonable suspicion?
^ you have to say, potential suspect left a known drug dealing spot :V
I used to get followed around stores and get dirty looks fairly often as a white person when I had long hair and dressed more like a skater.
