No, they should be questioned because they fit a profile that takes their age, race and perceived socio-economic status (based on the class of car) into account in addition to their location at a specific time. This profile was very effective in catching kids buying drugs. So if you want to see an equivalent then we can take some Arab looking guy in a car with a "Allah Rules" bumper sticker hanging around synagogues at strange hours of the night. Or he can have henna in his beard (a sign of devotion) or he can have a handful of steriotypical clothing or or or. A profile has more than a single element.
I'm not seeing the congruency in your example either. Ok, so in this example they should be questioned because they are in a black > neighbourhood. To go along with the thread topic we replace "Some white > kids > in a Ferrari" with a "Some Arab looking guys in robes who may/may not be > Muslim" right? What's the equivalent then to "a black neighbourhood" in the > Arab (Muslim) profile? Does America = the black neighbourhood? I'm just not > really seeing the congruency here. > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:291616 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
