Criminal profiling is legal and commonly used by law enforcement agencies to assist in criminal investigations.

How does racial profiling affect other people?
How DOES racial profiling affect otherS? The person who is profiled is treated unfairly by businesses, policemen, the court system, neighbors avoid them and think they are criminals when they are not, schools treat them unfairly, they don't get a fair break when it comes to credit, buying a house or a car. They can be mistreated by the medical profession ... such as automatically assuming a black person has a certain disease or does not take care of themselves or other such silliness. Hey even a gay person can be suspected of having AIDS and people will avoid him or her. Racial profiling is a very serious error and is unfair to the people being profiled. Imagine being a dark person who looks like an Arab and he is thought to be a terrorist when really he or she is just a person who cam from India or Mexico or Bolivia? And not all Muslim's are terrorist therefore racially profiling them as being terrorist is grossly unfair. Are you white? Do people profile you as being a Christian and an ugly American and a racist?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of racial profiling?
The largest disadvantage of racial profiling is the increased number of innocent people being stopped or targeted by law enforcement for no other reason than their race. This can result in injury and death of innocent citizens, especially when the innocent victim becomes irate over being targeted when they have done nothing wrong and law enforcement (or some other armed vigilante) overreacts. The Trayvon Martin tragedy is a good example. This can create tensions between minorities and officials, which can lead to further misunderstandings.It encourages officials to treat all people of one kind as criminals in a "better safe than sorry" attitude.Racial profiling can also be used as an excuse for casual or overt racism.Worsened race relations causes minorities to be less likely to try to become officials, thus leading to a statistically homogeneous number of officials due to fewer applicants.Racial profiling can lead people to feel victimized, sometimes requiring mental counseling for their encounters.Racial profiling is bad for business in several ways. It discourages businesses from starting up in areas with a large number of minorities. It discourages banks from giving loans to qualified borrowers due to race.An innocent person may be charged by an officer and convicted in court.It sends the message that our police and in effect our courts are corrupt.Racial profiling leads to the wrong conclusions. Not all people of a similar race act the same no matter what the race is.It allows the already disadvantaged to be more at a disadvantage. They do not enjoy the same constitutional rights as those who are never "racially profiled".
Why is racial profiling not considered good police work?
Because there are many people of mixed races everywhere. Looks are deceiving sometimes so accusing a person with a hispanic's skin tone has its faults.
Why has racial profiling become a significant issue in policing today?
Because authorities are having a more and more difficult time of defending it and the unfair treatment of people who are profiled. It is a blatant civil rights issue.
