Racial Profiling

Racial Profiling is a policy where the nation's law enforcement services can use racial features as a factor in identifying suspects, similar to recording a suspect's height or eye color.

Because of the difficulty in concealing one's race, racial profiling can effectively help cut down on the rate of Crime, Violent Crime, or even Terrorism. However, profiling people by their ethnicity can highlight racial differences - encouraging Racial Tension - and can cause innocents to be unjustly accused of being criminals because they share the same race as someone suspected of a crime, which makes the policy unpopular among Liberals.
