The federal government via many of its agencies from the IRS to the EPA Justice Department, to Energy Dept have for the last six years made attempts to garner control from states not to mention Congress. So anything the federal government does now is met by me with skepticism . I also include the Federal Reserve here.
As to profiling it all depends on whose ox is being gored, isn't it.
In the 1950's there were communist infiltrating the federal government but those guilty feigned indignation.
Around the same time the mob was being investigated by AG Bobby Kennedy and they feigned indignation It occurred with the neo-nazi, blacks muslims, etc
What's a cop to do? Is a cop suppose to say please don't take this wrong since you are a ----- because I am not profiling but I couldn't help notice people stop their cars you visit them and then they drive away...not that I am complaining mind you but we have had complaints about drug trafficking here . I also notice that bulge in your jacket pocket that is likely your snack because i would want to accuse you of packing heat as it might be upsetting to you
