But if the cops stop minorities pointlessly a lot more often than whites that might be noteworthy.



Of course its noteworthy. Unless your a minority, you have no idea whats it like to be pulled over based on racial profiling. A few yrs. ago, Torrance P.D ( my hometown and a suburb of LA.) was notorious for stopping and harrasing black motorists that came from neighboring cities. The courts found the city guilty of violating civil rights.

I got pulled over 3x in 10 minutes by El Segundo, Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach cops drivng down Sepulveda. I wasn't speeding and my car had no obvious vehicle violations. If that wasn't pointless, I don't know what is.
