That's not a description of them, but of their actions. Racial profiling. At least according to this Judge and the ACLU. As far as I am concerned you are absolutely right.
I'm going off that long description that Abysha quoted above. Whoever defined that has it right. I don't know what the judge said or the ACLU.

Yes, and I already responded. Apparently I need to go step by step.

Didn't really change anything.
I'm taking what that quote is saying at face value and not trying to fit it into the exception that breaks the rule.

That is the ACLU, you clearly are not reading it right based on your misquote of the "solely" doctrine that the ACLU wants abolished and you thought was acceptable.

No, I already said I don't know what the ACLU wrote. Unless that is what was quoted above because that is what I'm going by.
What it says above is a description of "Black" or "Latino" is unacceptable and that there must be other details to qualify. So "Latino" used by itself is profiling. But "Male Latino who Speeding" is fine. Or even "Latino who is Speeding" is fine. Just not "Latino" by itself.
The victim describes the suspect as a male, approximately five feet eight inches to five feet eleven inches tall with a medium build. The suspect is between the ages of 25 and 28 years old and spoke with an accent.
I agree that it's pretty heavy PC language. If the judge said race should never be used, then ya, she's gone nuts with PC language. There is nothing wrong about stating a fact. At that point everyone is focusing way too much on language to see the bigger picture.
I also don't think just race is used that much. It's always going to include something else too like their sex or build or something. I doubt anyone every gives a description of just race anyway.

Not never, but sparingly, only under a very specific set of conditions which are likely to not be met ...
such as when she called in, and gave the race, despite the conditions not being met, even though CLEARLY it should have been given.

Ok, well then explain how I'm reading this wrong then because it seems pretty clear.
Under the “solely” definition, an officer who targeted Latino drivers who were speeding would not be racial profiling because the drivers were not stopped “solely” because of their race but also because they were speeding.
If she gave a description of "Black" it wouldn't count, but according to that example "Black guys robbing my house" would qualify. Or even just "Blacks robbing my house" would be allowed too.
But if you think I'm reading it wrong, fine, but explain what I'm not reading right because I don't see how.
This definition found in some state racial profiling laws is unacceptable, because it fails to include when police act on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin or religion in combination with an alleged violation of all law.

This is what I meant by the exception that breaks the rule.

The rule doesn't really apply to the victims description but to police action. I don't know if they pursued or stopped anyone.

I agree. But if the reason behind it is because you personally feel there is no value in it, and zero reason to ever do it ... then you would not do it yourself. If you do it yourself, it's because you think there IS value. That is the point.
She has been cramming this down the throat of others when she herself does not believe it!!!

I don't think so. Could be that is all she had at the time. The mind can be like that under stress.
And, again, the quote isn't really talking about the description that the victim gives but how the police act on it.

She gave it so the police would know it.
She has spent her career trying to prevent the police from knowing when YOU give that description.
So she clearly thinks it's helpful, and wants it to help her, but does not want you to be able to get that same help when your loved one is in danger.

Of course. It is part of the info.

I don't know that and it certainly isn't what the ACLU quote is saying, which is what I originally commented on.

That seems to be what you think. That isn't what I see.

Give it up bro lol I though we got this covered on page one . wasted your day with this crap .
Racial profiling does not refer to the act of a law enforcement agent pursuing a suspect in which the specific description of the suspect includes race or ethnicity in combination with other identifying factors.

No the ACLU quote gives an example of when race is included but not racial profiling.
Racial profiling does not refer to the act of a law enforcement agent pursuing a suspect in which the specific description of the suspect includes race or ethnicity in combination with other identifying factors.

That doesn't mean that including race is to be avoided.
And, once more, it is not referring to the victims description but the actions of the police.
