If you read the entire 12 pages (which includes 17 examples), then I would hope that you may consider that this law is fine. It states that law enforcement can profile on specific cases such as crime, homeland security, etc ... however, they cannot, as an example, profile people in a routine traffic stop just because they want to profile a certain segment of the population.

A one-sentence excerpt:
"In conducting all activities other than routine or spontaneous law enforcement
activities, Federal law enforcement officers may consider race, ethnicity, gender,
national origin, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity only to the extent
that there is trustworthy information, relevant to the locality or time frame, that
links persons possessing a particular listed characteristic to an identified
criminal incident, scheme, or organization, a threat to national or homeland
security, a violation of Federal immigration law, or an authorized intelligence
activity."

Ok, I'll ask again - what will this accomplish that the ban against racial profiling in 03 by Bush hasn't? This nonsense about gender and sexual orientation has nothing to do with anything. How is this anything more than just grandstanding by Holder? trying to appease the base he is on this?
