KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! ... The police cannot stop you for just any reason. They have to have evidence that a crime is being committed. That being said, the police stop people without any legal justification all the time. They stop people simply because of the way they look. This is called profiling. Racial profiling is rampant and young men of color know they can do everything right under the law and still get stopped. If you are profiled, it is a degrading experience, but it is one you can overcome by knowing your rights, using (((the magic words))), and staying strong and silent. Once you are safe at home you can report the profiling to your local police watchdog organization or take official action against the police.
