Profiling Doesn't Work, David Harris Shows Why

Check out Profiles In Injustice. Turns out all that stuff Jon brought up 2 posts back, while noble, is totally irrelevant.

Racial profiling does not work. Argumentation as to strategy or morality is unnecessary.

The evidence, as collected by the practitioners of racial profiling, shows that you are statistically less likely to catch criminals when you racially profile. In other words, you do better if you have a totally random profiler, a computer that has NO SELECTION CRITERION WHATSOEVER, than you do if you have a cop who has been told to pay special attention to any category.
