Those numbers are based on an opinion poll the questions asked are not available It also defines racial profiling as the targeting of individuals and groups by law enforcement officials even partially on the basis of race ethnicity national origin or religion except where there is trustworthy information relevant to the locality and timeframe that links persons belonging to one of the aforementioned groups to an identified criminal incident or scheme The statement you keep reverting says they are stopped due to race alone not partially The poll respondants also presumably have no way of knowing why they were stopped by police A police officer will not pull you over and say do you know why I m stopping you because you re If you want to insert qualifications stating that a disproporionate of african americans believe they ve been stopped due in part to their ethnicity it is fine with me but as it is the foundations don t support the strength of the statement 29 June 2005 22 35 UTC
