Support the federal End Racial Profiling Act
- Issue: Racial profiling is an ineffective law enforcement practice steeped in racial stereotypes and erroneous assumptions about the propensity of African-American, Latino, Asian, Native American or Arab people to commit particular types of crimes.
The "End Racial Profiling Act of 2004" (S.2132/H.R.3847) defines racial profiling, makes it illegal, and requires data collection on all law enforcement encounters. It also provides individuals harmed by racial profiling with the power to stop law enforcement agencies from continuing to profile based on race, religion or national origin.
