How long will it take until profiling is again allowed for law enforcement officials?

It may not be done "officially," but profiling is done. I have a police officer in the family and he profiles on his job every single day as do the rest of his fellow police officers. He can look into a crowd and identify right away the troublemakers and the other people to keep an eye on.

BTW, I see nothing wrong with it.

Troublemaker profiling is probably legal. Racial profiling is not. Then, too, what is meant by "profiling?" It would have to be an act of the official representative of the public sector [which would have to include government regulated industries such as transportation and education,] because it cannot apply to acts of private citizens. Can it? Of course, if a private citizen is anywhere other than on his own front porch, he is on either public property or someone else's private property and has probably zero rights. People who rent probably have no rights anywhere. Let's take a look at this "profiling" question and try to get a better handle on what is happening here in the legal, that is, the real world.
