I never argued the point. Post #23 touches on an acknowledgment and post #94 seems to be in agreement.

I have not taken the time to look at the studies and draw a conclusion. I am not against stopping criminals (though I appreciate being allowed to drive 5mph over the limit) but the stops and the actions after have to be legal and not violate the rights of those who were stopped.
