The Constitution...Bill of Rights...due process and equal protection under the law (for starters).

If the constitution was being observed no one would be searched without a warrent, so how do you figure the constitution prevents profiling? Or to put it another way, why are they bothering to follow one part of the constitution and not all of it?

There are no laws in any state that I know of that prevent profiling. Cops do it all the time. I do know for a fact that NYC does not have an anti profiling law, I ask a friend who lives there, so Bloomerman lied about that right off the bat.

My point is this: If we are going to observe the constitution, let's observe all of it, let's have no searches without warrents, OR let's disregard a little more of it and profile perps.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

It can be logically argued (and it has been) that reasonable searches do not require a search warrant. Perhaps you have never heard of probable cause, but it does exist.
