RACIAL PROFILING LIVES ON

This article  was confusing yet interesting. 
  1. The Fourth Amendment prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and requires any warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause. 
  2. The fourth amendment applies also when you are being chased 
  3. Officers have many ways he/she can justify for a search. 
  4. The supreme court should be more strict on its definite meaning.
    - people should be aware of why they are being searched and what they can and cannot do 
  5. " reasonable suspicion" can be no more than an instinct and no less than a probable cause. 
  6. High crime areas can affect the suspicion
  7.  when enforcing immigration laws, race is taken into account
  8. courts rely on police judgement/ testamentary- in my opinion isn't always a good idea
* There are ways that can cover up a police officers racism. 
* race should matter, anyone can turn out to be a criminal not just Latinos and African Americans
