Racial profiling is a controversial law enforcement practice in which police officers take into account a person’s race, religion, ethnicity, and/or national origin as the basis for investigations of a potential suspect. This prejudicial method of law enforcement has ruined the reputation and lives of many innocent victims. If your rights have been violated by racial profiling contact Jackson & Associates today!

The following are some examples of facial profiling that take place in the United States every day:

• The police frequently pull over people of color for simple violations, such as driving a few miles per hour over the limit, not signaling properly, and not wearing a seat belt; the police officers then mistreat them by pulling out guns or searching their vehicle with drug sniffing dogs. This is not standard procedure for a minor traffic violation.
• People of color are being repeatedly pulled over for driving expensive vehicles. Law enforcement officers assume that the driver has acquired the vehicle illegally or is possibly committing illegal acts, such as selling drugs.
• People of color are stopped often when they are driving through upper class or predominantly white communities because the police feel that they must be in the wrong place and are therefore suspicious.

A person’s race or ethnicity should not be equated with a likelihood of performing illegal activities. Racial profiling is a discriminatory practice and should not be acceptable. The Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution states that every U.S. citizen is guaranteed equal protection under the law, and racial profiling violates that right. If you have been the victim of racial profiling you should contact a Los Angeles racial profiling attorney at Jackson & Associates to discuss your case.
