Ban Racial Profiling by Law Enforcement and Limit Federal Abuses
Racial profiling violates the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments and undermines public safety and community trust in Maryland. For over a year, federal agents have been acting lawlessly across American cities by violating existing protections, racially profiling residents and committing abuses without consequence. When law enforcement targets someone based on that person's perceived or actual race, ethnicity, nationality or religion, rather than evidence of criminal activity, they are engaging in racial profiling.
