And that is your justification for stopping black and brown people at a rate of one stop for every resident every year with an arrest rate of less than 1%? I believe that thinking is exactly why we have the Bill of Rights in the first place.

I support the LEOs when they abide by the L. Law enforcement already have enough authorizations to harass citizens without overstepping the law. When they go beyond that then they do not deserve our support. When laws are enforced in an unconstitutional manner then they do not deserve our support. Going further, when legislatures enact laws with no concern for the Constitution or that are clearly unconstitutional then they do not deserve our support.
