Tbh it's not that different in Europe. If you are dark skinned and it looks like you may be part of the ethnic group that causes trouble around your area, you will be stopped. Since I was 16 I was asked for documents and pulled over so many times, it wasn't even funny. I can't say I blame officers, though: I don't think recognising patterns is racism. I'm more pissed at people that look like me and contribute to the majority of crime. I hate the police sarcasm and bad treatment though. I think it's too easy to have unlimited money from the taxpayers' pocket without having to lift a finger to actually fight crime. I remember this one time, they stopped next to me in their car and just asked in between laughs "so, which country would you be from?". I replied the name of a small town nearby in the country's native accent and they immediately went "ohh, sorry sorry" and left immediately to poke at someone else. Apparently I wasn't part of their personal zoo of illegal immigrants to make fun of and ignore. That's probably the best argument I have for decriminalising victimless crimes and not having all power centralised into a public police but split into private entities with a Profits and Losses sheet.
