So, profiling isn’t bad?
Police advised that certain bumper stickers might mean you’re an armed extremist.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Want to know what the job of police is? Profiling. That’s all they do all day long. That’s the job.
Does that person fit here? does that thing fit the requirements? Is that within acceptable limits? Does that look right? Is that safe? Are those people ok?
Profiling = the job.
The whole profiling thing is a sham. Not profiling is what’s wrong with airport security. White, elderly, female, Presbyterians aren’t the ones blowing people up! Why are they being treated like they are?

Agreed that profiling is an essential tool for police and security forces. (Ask a policeman not to profile, and you’re telling him to ignore his hard-won instincts – and, to paraphrase Churchill, you’re telling him to treat the arsonist and the firefighter equally.)
Yet I find it amusing that profiling is now okay, so long as the correct people are doing it.

To follow up – It’s not profiling that’s the problem it’s political classifications. That I might be considered a threat to the national security police state is not surprising. I recognize what my limits might be in accepting .gov that means to rule. That it does not see itself as the same old, usual tyranny, as ever was, since the dawn of history, and understand it’s limits, is what’s so lousy.
Those classifications are based on belief, Statism, and its belief system is the most dangerous religion ever.

And if you were stopped and searched, aicket Constitution would constitute evidence of “domestic terrorism”.

This tactic of profiling has been in the courts before.

So…a BOLO for a big fraction of Virginia license plates? Wtf.

So a “don’t tread on me” bumper sticker will be taken as an invitation for some treading?

This has to be unKonstitutional, or summat. In my state (*My* my state), many cars are held together by those selfsame bumper stickers. If good taste and restraint become mandatory, we’ll be stripped — stripped I say — of our mobility. And it’s hard enough to get away now.

sort of the opposite of those blue line stickers that give drivers a free pass by signaling that they are a cop or related to one.
