Subject: I want a way to agree on "probable"

A good profile is not racial at all. It is merely cultural, or class based. Of course there are pitfalls here too.

What about hunches? They do work you know. I have looked at individuals, and felt I should keep an eye on them. I then found them to be doing something illegal. These people did not fit one group, they were white, black, rich, poor, hispanic, male, female, etc. Was what I did wrong? I do not think so. I was not discriminating against them, but I did not have "probable cause" either.

This is my question How do we give enough support to the honest cops, while limiting the ability of the bad cops to act improperly?
