White van profiling... Discription says, white van. The police were looking for a shooter in a white van. Until they know the driver isn't the shooter, they need to assume it couild very well be. What would you have them do..

Officer" Excuse me sir, are you the beltway shooter?
Drivers answers: No,
officer says, okay, I believe you.. Go on and have a nice day.

Or maybe,
Officer: are you the beltway shooter?
Driver: No
Officer, thank you,
Driver: Hahaha, we got away again.

I absolutely agree with you. In fact, I would not be surprised at all if the snipers actually have gone through some of these roadblocks. But tell me, how is the end result any different when an officer pulls the driver out of the vehicle at gunpoint and has him lie face-down in the pavement? If the van is clean, the van is clean. The officers still have to let them go.
