Ah Brother MacLeod! You absoultly said it! There is a grounds for a search by police, in the US, a potentialy danger moment for the searchee, (more than for the searcher statisticly speaking...) those grounds being "racially out of place" ie. black in a white neighborhood. Now, my crim law teacher - an ex-prosicutor was defending this, saying a white in a black neighborhood could also be searched for the same reason. A young progressive woman in the front row, said, No... that does not happen. The fact that it can happen does not make the law right... The professor began saying, No, you don't get it... She lost it and began to roar at him, NO YOU DONT F**KING GET IT! YOU DON"T GET IT, and then she slammed her book shut and let class to cool off. That about sums it up.
Well said MacLeod!
