Answer:

I mean it's supposed to be your opinion, but...

The Declaration of Independence has stated all men are free and equal, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 says that all persons must be treated equally without regard to their race, color, or national origin. Racial profiling clearly violates these laws, as law enforcement treat certain people as criminals or dangerous simply because of their race or skin color. Systemic racism has taught law enforcement officers that this is acceptable, even though it fails to comply with the law.

Hope this helped.
