Do you think racial profiling violates the 14th amendment? why or why not?

Clark K.

Racial profiling does violate the 14th amendment but the problem is overcoming the standard of proof. To prove racial profiling it must be shown that the conduct was intentional and had no compelling governmental interest. This is very difficult to prove.

Also, for an officer to stop a person, the officer only needs a reasonable suspicion that criminal activity is afoot, thereby making it more difficult to prove.

Constitutionally speaking, no. however you cannot deny that it happens.

NO. Racial profiling is a made up complaint and it is totally bias, to use against Law Enforcement when they want a certain race to get by with a crime.
