racial profiling is any police or private security practice in which a person is treated as a suspect beacuse of his or her race, religion, ethnicity, and nationality. it often involves stopping and searching of people of color for trafic violations also known as the "DWB". DWB stands for driving while black. Driving while blck is a name given to the "crime" of being a black driver. Driving while Brown is a more expensive way of referring to the "crime" or being a non white driver. After 9/11 police are stopping a variety of Arabs, Muslims, and Suth Asians. basically police are using racial profiles to decide which motorists to pull over. An incident takes place in Clayton, California where a black motorist Sam William asked the officer why he was pulled over. Sam states that the officer said "because someone in the back seat fidgeted. the officer later told Sam that he was held over because of "suspicious activity". Clayton Police Chief Pete Petersonsays that his department keeps a close watch for racial harassment. "We don't tolerate racial harassment or discrimination of any type. If somebody has a complaint like that, we will investigate it vigorously. If there is a problem, if discipline is necessary, we'll certainly take that kind of action" Peterson said. Racial profiling has been seen recently in New Jersey. Prosecutors filed a motion to dismiss charges against 21 people arrested by two state troopers who were accused of picking out drivers for traffic stops.
