WEBVTT - Selects: How Profiling Works

0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Hey, everybody, it's your bro Josh, and for this week's

0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 1>s Y s K Selects, I've chosen our episode from

0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:12.520
<v Speaker 1>July of two thousand fifteen on the extraordinarily controversial practice

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.840
<v Speaker 1>of profiling. You'll find out all the ins and outs

0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:19.120
<v Speaker 1>of profiling when it actually works, why it generally doesn't,

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>and why it's so just utterly offensive in general. Plus

0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 1>you'll also get to hear Chuck classic Chuck after he

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>got back from adopting his daughter, and he gets to

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>thank everybody who helped him along the way. And it's

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:36.279
<v Speaker 1>just very nice and heartwarming, especially considering the episode it's

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:38.920
<v Speaker 1>attached to. So at any rate, I hope you enjoy

0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:46.919
<v Speaker 1>it and take good care, Doe do do? What was that?

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>That is a heraldic announcement? Yes, before we get going, Uh,

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I know people on social media already know this stuff,

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 1>but I wanted to announce on the podcast that Chuck

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>here has opted a baby. Girl. Chuck has a baby,

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>A beautiful baby. Yeah she is, she's cuteie. She she

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:08.880
<v Speaker 1>was ten days late, so she came out and not

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 1>looking like one of those little alien creatures. No, she

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 1>fully formed. Yes, what's her name, Chuck? Her name is

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.039
<v Speaker 1>Ruby Rose Bryant Man. She's so cute and she was

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 1>born on your birthday. Yeah, isn't that crazy? One of

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:23.839
<v Speaker 1>the better days of the year July fift But isn't

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 1>that remarkable? I think it is remarkable out of all

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:29.679
<v Speaker 1>the days. And I was literally I was just like, well,

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 1>let me scroll through the celebrity birthday it's just, you know,

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.400
<v Speaker 1>for giggles to see what you know, who shares her birthday.

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:37.679
<v Speaker 1>About three quarters of the way down and saw your

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 1>face and I had forgotten it was your birthday because

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I was just in another planet, and I like, immediately

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Emily, you got to see this. You'll

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 1>never guess whose birthday she shares. So I think that's

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>really neat. Um. So anyway, uh, thank you everybody for

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>the support. Stop stop chuck, Yes on behalf of every stuff.

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.280

0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.360

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>that you seemed for Millier, but I didn't want to

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 1>say anything, like even watched the TV show. Oh wow.

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>So Max was like, that's probably why I didn't want

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 1>to say anything. Yeah, he didn't want to bring it up.

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>So a huge thanks to those guys. And then um

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 1>our caseworker Jessica Um also a stuff you should know

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.840
<v Speaker 1>fan that is amazing because at the end of our

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 1>first call like a month ago. She went, all right,

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.719
<v Speaker 1>we've got business done. I have something I have to admit.

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>It's like, I'm a huge fan man. So it was weird.

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 1>It was like the stuff you should know, nation sort

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>of caring for me. Yeah, and all of the people

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>like you. You put a picture of Ruby Rose up, yeah,

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 1>and like broke the internet. It was it was people

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.799
<v Speaker 1>love newborns. Well yeah, but people love Chuck's newborn. Yeah.

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>But you know it could have been a puppy and

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 1>probably gotten don I don't think that was very sweet. Yeah,

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:51.839
<v Speaker 1>so that meant a lot to me. But Jessica and

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 1>her two sons, Hugh and Henry, I know they are

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 1>listeners to they are awesome boys, and she really took

0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 1>care of us. So I'm glad it worked out like

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 1>a man three weeks sin Tulsa. It was a weird

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:06.240
<v Speaker 1>and stressful and but it sounds wonderful. Yeah, good start though. Yeah,

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean we were in there. Emily helped deliver this baby,

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>and I was in the man zone right behind. I

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 1>am so proud of you guys. I'm so happy for

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 1>you guys. I also want to say Jerry is not

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 1>allowed to talk. Jerry feels the exact same way. She's, well,

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>we could take the duck tapeall for today, maybe, Jerry,

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>how do you feel? Yes, she said, yeah, she agrees.

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:32.840
<v Speaker 1>She just spelled out on the speaking spelled called them police. Anyway,

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.159
<v Speaker 1>this is not going to become the New Baby show. Um,

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.919
<v Speaker 1>she will probably disappear from uh your lives. But just

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.080

0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:45.880

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, sir. Welcome to Stuff you should know, a

0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:59.360
<v Speaker 1>production of I Heart Radio. Hey, and welcome to the podcast.

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm Josh Clark. There's Charles w Chuck Bryant, and Jerry,

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:08.680
<v Speaker 1>which means it's time for listener mayo. Oh wait, wow

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 1>about that, I'm brain to start. That's why we leave

0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.719
<v Speaker 1>that in there. Do you want to ye? Or maybe

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I should just read listener mail. We can go home. Okay,

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:23.000
<v Speaker 1>it's a build your own episode. Yeah, it's a mad libs.

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Just fill it in. I'm profiling, Yeah, styling and profiling.

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty excited. Are you styling and profile? Well? This

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:34.080
<v Speaker 1>is a that's a different thing. This yeah, okay, I

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:38.720
<v Speaker 1>think that has to do with um, like photography, no

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 1>think styling and profile and just means you're living large. Yeah,

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:49.160
<v Speaker 1>you're fashionable and hip. Oh gotcha. Yeah, No, this is different. Yeah,

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.279
<v Speaker 1>and this is a grab star article, which is the

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.480
<v Speaker 1>mark of quality, as we all know it is. It's

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.159
<v Speaker 1>refreshing to see and it is Um, we should just

0:06:56.200 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 1>say right off the bat, profiling is a super divisive topic.

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Um, there are many ways to look at it,

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>and all they make sense sometimes on both sides. It's

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>a tough one. Yeah, so that's my caveat. It's divisive.

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:17.840
<v Speaker 1>So um. One thing that grabs her immediately points out

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 1>is like, not all profiling is profiling, like you think

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 1>of Sure, we're going to talk about all the different ways, right,

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 1>There's plenty of accepted forms of profiling. And the first one, um,

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>is the standard all points bulletin or be on the lookout, Right,

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 1>that's the kind that no one has a problem with.

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 1>No one does, Yeah, because that you you know what

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>that is. That's uh, silver toyota to coma with spotted

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 1>today and white male in his mid forties with spiky

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 1>hair and uh sort of chubby with a big gross

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 1>gray black beard has committed a crime and he's wearing

0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 1>cargo shorts and flip flops. Oh, I see you're describing

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>yourself profiler, but you put in their white male. And

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the reason that's what I am. The reason why people

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 1>don't have a problem with this is twofold one. A

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>crime has already been committed. Yeah, okay, I committed a crime.

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 1>So the police work is finding a perpetrator that has

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 1>already committed a crime. And secondly, that profile is based

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 1>on eyewitness accounts descriptions of the person. That's right, So

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>that profile is being used to track down a specific person.

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Has nothing to do with anybody else. Who's white, has

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with anybody else, who drives a silver Tacoma,

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:42.880
<v Speaker 1>has nothing to do with any of that jazz. It's

0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 1>just this guy is suspected of having committed this crime

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.960
<v Speaker 1>and he looks like this. Yeah you hear. You see

0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.080
<v Speaker 1>it on the news every night. Yes, you know that's

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.040
<v Speaker 1>not just cops that use this. The news will say

0:08:56.120 --> 0:09:01.120
<v Speaker 1>the suspect is, uh, you know, wearing a handsome, checkered Oxford,

0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 1>button down, whispy hair, and white, straight teeth exactly, so

0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.480
<v Speaker 1>they're describing you, Oh you think my teeth are nice?

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:13.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't say that. I said they were white and straight.

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:18.439
<v Speaker 1>That's nice if that's what you're into. This is coming

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:20.480
<v Speaker 1>from a guy who just found out he's about to

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:24.719
<v Speaker 1>have to lose his front tooth all over again, start over. Yeah, man,

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.839
<v Speaker 1>that sucks. Which I know there are some fans out

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 1>there that are laughing Aaron Cooper that toothless Chuck is

0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:34.440
<v Speaker 1>coming back in the house for it. It's really just him. Yeah,

0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 1>he's the only one whould be jerky enough to laugh

0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.080
<v Speaker 1>at that. That kind of misfortune, you know, I know,

0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry to bring that up. I'm just still reeling

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>from that discovery. It stinks. You think you get an

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:49.720
<v Speaker 1>implant and it's for life. Yeah, especially when they sell

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:55.080
<v Speaker 1>you a lifetime implant. Yeah, exactly. Alright. So, uh, like

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 1>you said, including descriptions and skin color is not controversial

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 1>this case. No, it's in. Everybody from the FEDS to

0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 1>the local police are okay with that. Yeah, they're all

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:08.960
<v Speaker 1>in on it. And and not just the police, like

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 1>everybody's like, yeah, this is fine, this makes sense. Sure,

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 1>not a thing that's right. The next one is psychological profiling,

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:18.200
<v Speaker 1>and this is when you don't have a lot of

0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 1>physical evidence or you don't have an eyewitness, and you're

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.120
<v Speaker 1>trying to fill in the blanks and make some good

0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:28.640
<v Speaker 1>guesses billy blanks based on I remember that guy. Uh,

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.560
<v Speaker 1>some good guesses based on like the crime scene or

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.840
<v Speaker 1>just the circumstances of the crime. Yes, again, a crime

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 1>has already taken place, and you're trying to figure out

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:43.000
<v Speaker 1>who solved it, and you're taking committed it. You're trying

0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 1>to figure out who's gonna solve it alright, alright, which

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 1>you figure out the same moment when as you do

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>when you figure out who committed it. It's interesting mind bending.

0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:55.079
<v Speaker 1>Right Twice you've jumped to the end of something. It's

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.000
<v Speaker 1>so weird. I don't know what that means. I think

0:10:57.040 --> 0:11:01.080
<v Speaker 1>you know what it means. Uh. Sometimes they are vague,

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 1>but wait, I hadn't finished my thought. Okay, I didn't

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 1>mess it up that bad. Let me go back and finish. Um.

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:12.080
<v Speaker 1>The point is it's drawn from available evidence, Yeah, clues,

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 1>clues that you're bringing together to try to draw up

0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.520
<v Speaker 1>an idea of who did this, right exactly, Okay, So

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.480
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it can be vague, but if you watch TV

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and movies, um, it is probably not how it really

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.840
<v Speaker 1>goes down, but it's super specific when you see it

0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.640
<v Speaker 1>in fiction, you know, like I think this, uh as

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:36.680
<v Speaker 1>a man who was beaten as a child, and he

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:41.080
<v Speaker 1>probably lives alone or Sherlock Holmes was really good at

0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 1>that kind of thing. It's a good point. Love Sherlock Holmes. Yeah,

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 1>that's good stuff. Uh did you know he was a

0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 1>morphine and cocaine addict? Really? Yeah? Well I guess you

0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.600
<v Speaker 1>need both in like the original stories? Really yeah? Oh

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 1>like in the books. Wow, not the real guy right,

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.000
<v Speaker 1>as I think, Yeah, are you sure you're not just

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:06.040
<v Speaker 1>thinking of Robert Downey Jr. I mean I've read the

0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Originals and he like does he shoots morphing in it?

0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:14.360
<v Speaker 1>And and Watson is not very happy with the whole thing.

0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah he's straight edge. No, he's not straight edge, but

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't he's not a junkie, you know. But he

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't care. He was like, Watson, wash my toes. So

0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:31.880
<v Speaker 1>I can between them all right, Moving on to predictive profiling, Well, yeah,

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 1>this is where it starts to get a little messy. Yeah,

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.319
<v Speaker 1>I can get a little controversial. Even psychological profiling is

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.240
<v Speaker 1>a little controversial. I have to say, chuck, like, it's

0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:42.120
<v Speaker 1>not a proven, tried and true thing. It's as much

0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:47.319
<v Speaker 1>a guessing game as anything else. Um, But it's not

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 1>nearly still as controversial as predictive profiling, because now you're

0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:56.600
<v Speaker 1>trying to say, these people will probably commit a crime,

0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:02.880
<v Speaker 1>right not not not civil sorry issue, big time, big time. Um.

0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Police officers do great work. Ideally, they're not just reacting

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.840
<v Speaker 1>to committed crimes, but they are um driving around the

0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:15.880
<v Speaker 1>neighborhood looking for a suspicious person that might be about

0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.840
<v Speaker 1>to commit a crime, to prevent crime, to prevent a crime,

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:20.520
<v Speaker 1>which is tough to do. You know, it's right place,

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 1>right time in most cases. And you use the word

0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:28.760
<v Speaker 1>ideally right ideally yes. Um. So even when this happens,

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:32.920
<v Speaker 1>this Supreme Court has roundly um sided with police officers

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 1>um as profiling for justification. So it's legally speaking, okay,

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.200
<v Speaker 1>it's on the books. It's on the books. So so

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 1>give an example of the kind of profiling that's okay

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.840
<v Speaker 1>to be used. Um. The one of the article is great. Um.

0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's say you're in uh, South Florida, and you're you're

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 1>traveling up and you're in a it's four a m.

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:03.600
<v Speaker 1>And you're in a rented black suv with tinted windows,

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 1>and you have the spare tire in the back seat removed. Um,

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, it's it's removed from the trunk area. It's

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 1>in the backseat, just sitting in the back seat. Might

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 1>be might be a drug trafficker, right, And the cop

0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 1>is basing this on something like, um, a profile, Yeah,

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:27.760
<v Speaker 1>but a profile based on previous experiences with other drug

0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.720
<v Speaker 1>dealers in the same area. Because that's a really big

0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:33.440
<v Speaker 1>one right there. Like um. One of the things for

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 1>using profiles successfully is it has it's it has it

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:41.880
<v Speaker 1>has to be over a certain period of time and

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:46.200
<v Speaker 1>associated with a certain place. So you use Miami and

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:51.840
<v Speaker 1>say Miami, right, if you saw that person and you

0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.680
<v Speaker 1>would say, well, this is probably a cocaine trafficker based

0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:57.920
<v Speaker 1>on all the other dealings with cocaine traffickers who who

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 1>used the same transportation. M Yeah, And we should point

0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 1>out the tires removed, because you can then hide the

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 1>drugs where their spare tire went, and then that's why

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the tires in the back seat. Yes, so these are

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:14.560
<v Speaker 1>red flags. But if you're like in um Wyoming in

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 1>two thousand fifteen, and you read an article about how

0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:23.200
<v Speaker 1>that held true in Miami. That is not necessarily a

0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 1>justifiable transference of profiling because it exists in a different time,

0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 1>in a different place. That's right. So, like you said,

0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:35.680
<v Speaker 1>this can be a this can be high level policy, UM,

0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:39.320
<v Speaker 1>it can be unofficial policy. It can be just merely

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:43.240
<v Speaker 1>experienced as a police officer. That's something you've encountered from

0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:47.680
<v Speaker 1>time to time and basically to determine if this profile

0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 1>justifies a search warrantless search that is, in other words,

0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 1>you haven't gone to the judge and as applied for

0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:57.160
<v Speaker 1>a warrant and had them review it and all that

0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.440
<v Speaker 1>stuff or rubber stamp it, which we'll get to. Um.

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.840
<v Speaker 1>It's got a stand up in court, right, and so

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.120
<v Speaker 1>you gotta be careful as a cop you do. Um,

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:10.040
<v Speaker 1>you have to have what's called an articulable suspicion, which

0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:15.280
<v Speaker 1>was established by a nineteen case or Supreme Court ruling

0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Terry versus Ohio. And the Supreme Court said, and this

0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.880
<v Speaker 1>is actually from a Matt ti abi Um article. It's

0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:26.000
<v Speaker 1>really really worth reading. It's called Why Baltimore Blew Up.

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:29.120
<v Speaker 1>It was in Rolling Stone like a month or two ago.

0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.280
<v Speaker 1>It's a very good article. Um. But he talks about

0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:36.440
<v Speaker 1>this terry case led to what are called terry stops,

0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.000
<v Speaker 1>whereas if a cop has a suspicion that they can

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:45.000
<v Speaker 1>put into words meaning it's not just a hunch, um,

0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 1>that somebody is is either just committed a crime or

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:53.640
<v Speaker 1>going to commit a crime, that that is probable cause,

0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.480
<v Speaker 1>and it's browns first search. Yeah, And here's a had

0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 1>a great example here, like let's say the cop and

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 1>it would say this, the suspect of pure nervous made

0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.760
<v Speaker 1>several contradictory statements. In the back seat, I saw a

0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:09.880
<v Speaker 1>shoebox full of old film canisters, which drug carriers commonly use.

0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:12.880
<v Speaker 1>The car smell like air freshener spray, which is used

0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:15.200
<v Speaker 1>to cover up the smell of drugs. And I spotted

0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:17.679
<v Speaker 1>them driving slowly up and down a block that I

0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.360
<v Speaker 1>know is frequented by drug dealers. Right, that's called good

0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 1>police work in court. Right, that's called like a prosecutor's

0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:28.240
<v Speaker 1>dream copah um. And if you if you go back

0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.840
<v Speaker 1>and you notice all of that stuff, all of these

0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.960
<v Speaker 1>things are based on. So a block that he knows

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:37.679
<v Speaker 1>to be frequented by drug dealers, thirty five millimeter canisters.

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he read a Police Benevolent Association newsletter article about that, Um,

0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:48.800
<v Speaker 1>all of this stuff together um becomes what's called cumulative similarities.

0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:52.919
<v Speaker 1>And supposedly a Florida Highway patrolman named Bob Vogel is

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the first guy to put this down on paper. He

0:17:56.920 --> 0:18:00.159
<v Speaker 1>was very controversial, which is, you take all of these

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.200
<v Speaker 1>different things and put them together, and you can form

0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:05.000
<v Speaker 1>a profile, and you can use that to pull somebody

0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:09.400
<v Speaker 1>over and then you know, eventually search their car if

0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:13.520
<v Speaker 1>you're a Florida Highway patrolment. Right. So, UM, you've got

0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.560
<v Speaker 1>you've got all of these. Uh. You have the terry

0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.679
<v Speaker 1>stops which are used for broken windows policing and just

0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:25.159
<v Speaker 1>for pulling people over, but they require an articulable suspicion,

0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:29.199
<v Speaker 1>but they can be based on where called cumulative similarities,

0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:32.640
<v Speaker 1>which is a profile. Either like that your police department

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.800
<v Speaker 1>is saying be on the lookout for people driving with

0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:40.080
<v Speaker 1>their spare tire in the backseat, um at this time

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:44.879
<v Speaker 1>of night. So far, this has all been upheld by

0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:49.080
<v Speaker 1>the Supreme Court. That's right. But there's a very very

0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:54.320
<v Speaker 1>fine line, um that is frequently crossed, and we will

0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:57.360
<v Speaker 1>talk about how that runs a foul of the Constitution

0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:23.200
<v Speaker 1>right after this, all right, Josh, before we took a break,

0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:26.720
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned something called the Constitution, And there are a

0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:29.080
<v Speaker 1>couple of amendments that come into play when you're talking

0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:34.600
<v Speaker 1>about search and seizure, probable cause profiling, and they are

0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:38.440
<v Speaker 1>the fourth and fourteenth Amendments. The fourth reads in whole

0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.560
<v Speaker 1>the right of the people to be secure in their

0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:46.359
<v Speaker 1>persons is that JFK. I went into him Whitston Churchill. Sure,

0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:50.720
<v Speaker 1>it's both houses papers and effects against unreasonable searches and

0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:55.159
<v Speaker 1>seizures shall not be violated, and no warrant shall issue,

0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.879
<v Speaker 1>but upon probable costs supported by oath or affirmation, and

0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:02.160
<v Speaker 1>particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:04.560
<v Speaker 1>of things to be seized. Right, So there's some big

0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:08.919
<v Speaker 1>words in there, big big like money words like, uh,

0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:14.320
<v Speaker 1>it's a protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, which means,

0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:17.840
<v Speaker 1>as far as the Supreme Court's concerned, some cops just

0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:20.960
<v Speaker 1>can't say I'm gonna push you up against the wall

0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.560
<v Speaker 1>and pay you down for no reason whatsoever. Yeah, Or

0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:26.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna pull you over for no reason and I'm

0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:29.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna search your car on the side of the road

0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:34.160
<v Speaker 1>for no reason, um does not happen, right of course

0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:39.600
<v Speaker 1>not sure? So, Um, that's the Fourth Amendment, right, And uh,

0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:43.199
<v Speaker 1>there's another big term in there. It's called probable cause,

0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:46.600
<v Speaker 1>like you have to have and if from a lot

0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:50.080
<v Speaker 1>of people say that that night Terry versus Ohio ruling

0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:54.600
<v Speaker 1>is just too broad in articulable suspicion, like what is

0:20:54.640 --> 0:21:00.199
<v Speaker 1>that you know? Um, But even still there's there, So

0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:03.439
<v Speaker 1>there has to be some sort of probable cause. And

0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:06.399
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the times, as we'll see, it's just

0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:10.080
<v Speaker 1>from uh, some something out in plain side or something

0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.080
<v Speaker 1>like that. But there's a big struggle over what constitutes

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:16.120
<v Speaker 1>probable cause. But the point is the Fourth Amendment says

0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:18.240
<v Speaker 1>you have to have probable cause or else it's an

0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:22.439
<v Speaker 1>unreasonable search, that's right. And uh, a police officer in

0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:24.760
<v Speaker 1>most cases has to go get a warrant for like

0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:28.240
<v Speaker 1>the search of a home or something. Um. And there's

0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:30.719
<v Speaker 1>a whole issue of rubber stamping warrants these days of

0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:33.159
<v Speaker 1>course that like the judge may not even really review that.

0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:36.600
<v Speaker 1>It's just a formality, right or for anybody who's watched

0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:38.600
<v Speaker 1>it's enough Law and Order episodes, all you have to

0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:41.160
<v Speaker 1>do is go I smell pot. Do you smell pot?

0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Wink wink, and then kick the door in, Yeah, exactly,

0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:46.840
<v Speaker 1>because that's you can't prove that the cop didn't think

0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:50.159
<v Speaker 1>you smell pot exactly. Now there's the threat of perjury,

0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:54.840
<v Speaker 1>of perjuring himself on the stand. But I imagine at

0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:57.560
<v Speaker 1>least as far as like Brisco and Green are concerned,

0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:01.399
<v Speaker 1>they're hoping that they're gonna find so gang buster overwhelming

0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:04.400
<v Speaker 1>evidence that everybody's going to forget about the fake smell

0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:08.639
<v Speaker 1>of pot. Um. So, there was actually a case which

0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:13.919
<v Speaker 1>relates to probable calls called the US v. Sokolow that

0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:17.560
<v Speaker 1>made it all the way to the Scotus And um,

0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:20.320
<v Speaker 1>did you read about that case? I did. It's um

0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:23.119
<v Speaker 1>it was a nine. Well that was when the ruling

0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:25.560
<v Speaker 1>was right. Yeah. So what happened was the d A

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:30.119
<v Speaker 1>arrested a guy at the Honolulu airport found over a

0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:32.200
<v Speaker 1>thousand grams of cocaine in his carry on. It was

0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:35.760
<v Speaker 1>a key he had aw and he paid. Uh. They

0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:38.080
<v Speaker 1>the agents knew all this going into it. This is

0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:41.680
<v Speaker 1>why they arrested him. He paid bucks for round trip

0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:45.720
<v Speaker 1>tickets with a roll of twenty dollar bills. He traveled

0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:48.360
<v Speaker 1>under a name that did not match the name under

0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:52.320
<v Speaker 1>which his telephone was listed. Um, he was originally going

0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:57.840
<v Speaker 1>to Miami, and this yeah, because la Flag at the time,

0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:00.680
<v Speaker 1>he only stayed in Miami for two days, even though

0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:04.040
<v Speaker 1>a round trip flight from Honolulu takes twenty hours, so

0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:05.960
<v Speaker 1>a very quick trip and no others. He was almost

0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:08.679
<v Speaker 1>flying as long as he was there in Miami, he

0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:13.159
<v Speaker 1>met up with a man named Tony Montana. Apparently he

0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:16.800
<v Speaker 1>appeared nervous and he did not check his baggage, and

0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the district court denied motion to suppress the evidence, said

0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:25.879
<v Speaker 1>it was justifiable. The Court of Appeals disagreed and overturned that,

0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:28.240
<v Speaker 1>and then eventually it went to the Supreme Court and

0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:31.399
<v Speaker 1>they said no, it's okay because they had what was

0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:35.800
<v Speaker 1>quote a totality of evidence. So here's the thing, though,

0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:38.920
<v Speaker 1>the thing that makes that so groundbreaking. And nowadays, I mean,

0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:41.760
<v Speaker 1>we were raised under so clow Right, it seems like

0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:44.200
<v Speaker 1>this is just the norm. But it was a ground

0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:47.320
<v Speaker 1>breaking case of the time because nothing none of that.

0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:50.639
<v Speaker 1>It's not against the law to pay your plane ticket

0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:52.720
<v Speaker 1>with cash, it's not against the law to not check

0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:55.080
<v Speaker 1>your bags. At the time, it wasn't against the law

0:23:55.119 --> 0:23:57.320
<v Speaker 1>to travel under an assumed name. Yeah, and I don't

0:23:57.320 --> 0:23:58.760
<v Speaker 1>think at the time it was against a law to

0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:01.280
<v Speaker 1>go to Miami just for two right, exactly, none of

0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:05.240
<v Speaker 1>this is against the law. And so if you if

0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:07.879
<v Speaker 1>if you just followed the strict interpretation the law up

0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 1>to that point there was they couldn't bust this guy.

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:13.119
<v Speaker 1>Even though when they busted him they found a kilo

0:24:13.160 --> 0:24:16.360
<v Speaker 1>of coke, like they knew they would in his bag. Um,

0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:19.119
<v Speaker 1>there wasn't enough there. In the Supreme Court said you

0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:21.880
<v Speaker 1>know what, we we think that when you put all

0:24:21.920 --> 0:24:25.960
<v Speaker 1>that stuff together, there is enough there. Now what constitutes

0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:28.720
<v Speaker 1>that totality? Is it two pieces of evidence? Is that

0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:31.600
<v Speaker 1>one thing? Um? You know, how much does it take

0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:35.680
<v Speaker 1>to profile? But what they were saying in so colo was, yes,

0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:41.240
<v Speaker 1>the the stuff that you've seen from other proven criminals

0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:44.399
<v Speaker 1>applied to somebody else who you don't yet fully know

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:47.080
<v Speaker 1>as a criminal is enough for you to bust them

0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:52.040
<v Speaker 1>and see if you're right. Yeah, again, it's just like

0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:55.359
<v Speaker 1>kind of groundbreaking. He didn't go straight to jail. They

0:24:55.760 --> 0:24:58.199
<v Speaker 1>looked in his bag, yes, but it's do you have

0:24:58.200 --> 0:24:59.440
<v Speaker 1>the right to look in the bag? Is what it

0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:02.240
<v Speaker 1>comes down. And they were saying that there. The Supreme

0:25:02.280 --> 0:25:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Court's interpretation is this stands up to the Fourth Amendment. Yeah,

0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:07.800
<v Speaker 1>and I met the guy went to Miami for two days.

0:25:09.160 --> 0:25:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Kiss your civil rights goodbye. Uh So with the fourteenth Amendment, UM,

0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:16.240
<v Speaker 1>it states in part that no State shall make or

0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:19.399
<v Speaker 1>enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities

0:25:19.400 --> 0:25:23.280
<v Speaker 1>of citizens of the US. Uh I think everybody wants

0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:26.320
<v Speaker 1>the Kennedy voice against. Uh. I think any time you

0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:28.399
<v Speaker 1>read amendments from the Bill of Rights, you have to

0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:31.000
<v Speaker 1>do it like that. Nah shall any state deprive any

0:25:31.000 --> 0:25:35.040
<v Speaker 1>person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law,

0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:38.800
<v Speaker 1>nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction equal protection

0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:42.960
<v Speaker 1>of the laws. So this one applies. You might say, well,

0:25:43.000 --> 0:25:45.680
<v Speaker 1>we've got the Fourth we don't need the fourteenth. Fourteen

0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:50.960
<v Speaker 1>says look, man, you can't just bust somebody without this again,

0:25:51.160 --> 0:25:54.160
<v Speaker 1>due process of law. And we have a due process

0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:56.840
<v Speaker 1>of law. And what the Supreme Court did with cases

0:25:56.840 --> 0:26:00.679
<v Speaker 1>like so below and with cases like Terry versus Ohio UM,

0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:05.440
<v Speaker 1>is they said profiling is part of the due process

0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:09.800
<v Speaker 1>of law. That's right. So one thing that they have

0:26:10.000 --> 0:26:13.240
<v Speaker 1>gone back to again and again and again and again

0:26:13.920 --> 0:26:18.160
<v Speaker 1>is that if race is factored in and almost any circumstances.

0:26:18.160 --> 0:26:22.560
<v Speaker 1>There are circumstances that is where racial profiling is allowed

0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:26.440
<v Speaker 1>in police work. But for the most part, if you're

0:26:26.720 --> 0:26:31.439
<v Speaker 1>basing your suspicions of criminal wrongdoing on race largely or

0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:35.960
<v Speaker 1>in part, then that is not That runs a foul

0:26:36.000 --> 0:26:38.199
<v Speaker 1>of the fourth and the fourteenth Amendments, and you're not

0:26:38.280 --> 0:26:40.800
<v Speaker 1>allowed to do that. Yeah. The grabs Her points out

0:26:40.840 --> 0:26:43.760
<v Speaker 1>that cops, unless you are have an a p b

0:26:43.960 --> 0:26:48.480
<v Speaker 1>out on a Hispanic mail or a black male, then

0:26:48.520 --> 0:26:52.119
<v Speaker 1>you're supposed to be color blind as a cop, exactly,

0:26:53.200 --> 0:26:56.399
<v Speaker 1>all right, You're supposed to be supposed to So you know, um,

0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:59.640
<v Speaker 1>the Eric Garner case, the Michael Brown case, UM, all

0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:03.560
<v Speaker 1>of these cases where you know, black mails were basically

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:08.520
<v Speaker 1>stopped from either doing a petty offense or just stop

0:27:08.680 --> 0:27:12.680
<v Speaker 1>based on suspicion because they were black in their neighborhood. UM.

0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:16.320
<v Speaker 1>It prompted the executive branch to release a new set

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:21.840
<v Speaker 1>of guidance, like an updated set of guidelines for racial profiling,

0:27:22.240 --> 0:27:25.639
<v Speaker 1>and they were they basically spelled out examples. Um. I

0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:28.240
<v Speaker 1>posted to it on the podcast page for this episode,

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:32.600
<v Speaker 1>but they spelled out examples for when that when it's appropriate,

0:27:32.720 --> 0:27:35.560
<v Speaker 1>And they said, if it's an all points bulletin for

0:27:35.640 --> 0:27:41.880
<v Speaker 1>any police yes, Um, if you're traffic or if you're

0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:45.760
<v Speaker 1>patrolling and looking for criminals and you're basing it on race,

0:27:45.960 --> 0:27:49.000
<v Speaker 1>absolutely not allowed. But they said they gave an example

0:27:49.040 --> 0:27:53.600
<v Speaker 1>where like, um, if, for example, you are looking for

0:27:53.640 --> 0:27:56.840
<v Speaker 1>somebody who carried out a hit on a gang leader,

0:27:57.680 --> 0:27:59.919
<v Speaker 1>and you know there's this rival gang and this right

0:28:00.000 --> 0:28:03.160
<v Speaker 1>of old gang is probably the ones who carried out

0:28:03.160 --> 0:28:08.000
<v Speaker 1>this hit, and every member of this rival gang is Hispanic,

0:28:08.880 --> 0:28:11.480
<v Speaker 1>that you could use that as part of the profile

0:28:11.560 --> 0:28:14.720
<v Speaker 1>and searching for your suspect. That it just makes sense

0:28:14.720 --> 0:28:16.919
<v Speaker 1>in that case, right, Not because you don't look for

0:28:16.920 --> 0:28:19.400
<v Speaker 1>the little old white lady, right exactly. Yeah, because it's

0:28:19.440 --> 0:28:24.159
<v Speaker 1>that specific. But you wouldn't cast a dragnet over all Hispanics.

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:27.840
<v Speaker 1>It would be Hispanic men related to this gang. You

0:28:27.880 --> 0:28:29.760
<v Speaker 1>see what I'm saying. I think the lesson here is

0:28:29.800 --> 0:28:31.400
<v Speaker 1>get the little old white lady to do the hit.

0:28:32.640 --> 0:28:35.440
<v Speaker 1>It's been done before, and you're golden. It has been

0:28:35.480 --> 0:28:38.280
<v Speaker 1>done before, which is one of the one of the

0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:41.800
<v Speaker 1>problems with racial profiling is it's distracting. Yeah, you know,

0:28:41.880 --> 0:28:45.760
<v Speaker 1>we'll get to that. But that's definitely true. Um, and

0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:48.000
<v Speaker 1>you know when you watch cops, it's not always like

0:28:50.160 --> 0:28:52.520
<v Speaker 1>sometimes that I will see on the TV show. They

0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:55.960
<v Speaker 1>will pull over. They'll stop a white kid, like suburban

0:28:56.000 --> 0:28:58.920
<v Speaker 1>white kid that's in a bad neighborhood, because they'll be like, well,

0:28:58.960 --> 0:29:02.080
<v Speaker 1>he's he doesn't below here. Yeah, he's probably buying drugs

0:29:02.400 --> 0:29:04.680
<v Speaker 1>because this is a street where people buy drugs. There's

0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:07.280
<v Speaker 1>a crack house down there. And this guy is from

0:29:07.280 --> 0:29:10.920
<v Speaker 1>the county, uh, you know, the white suburban county out

0:29:10.920 --> 0:29:13.960
<v Speaker 1>in the suburbs. Let's pull him over. That's racial profile.

0:29:14.040 --> 0:29:17.040
<v Speaker 1>That's the same same thing but different. Well it's the

0:29:17.080 --> 0:29:21.000
<v Speaker 1>same thing, yeah, but you know what I mean. Um,

0:29:21.040 --> 0:29:23.880
<v Speaker 1>all right, so let's talk about probable cause analysis. This

0:29:23.960 --> 0:29:27.200
<v Speaker 1>is good. There's, um, during a traffic stop, there's there's

0:29:27.360 --> 0:29:30.000
<v Speaker 1>several things a cop can do and each one requires

0:29:30.560 --> 0:29:36.680
<v Speaker 1>different kinds of cause in order for it to be legal. Um. Yeah, Again,

0:29:38.280 --> 0:29:41.520
<v Speaker 1>they aren't supposed to just pull you over for no reason.

0:29:42.000 --> 0:29:44.840
<v Speaker 1>They're not supposed to. You're supposed to fit some sort

0:29:44.880 --> 0:29:48.440
<v Speaker 1>of either you broke a traffic law or you fit

0:29:48.720 --> 0:29:53.480
<v Speaker 1>a profile that that has been agreed upon. Is okay, Yeah,

0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:55.600
<v Speaker 1>but a cop to pull over for. And again we're

0:29:55.640 --> 0:29:59.800
<v Speaker 1>not knocking police officers hard work, and mostly they do

0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:03.400
<v Speaker 1>rate work. But a cop can pull someone over for

0:30:03.440 --> 0:30:07.560
<v Speaker 1>anything and say, like, when you made that turn, you

0:30:07.640 --> 0:30:10.080
<v Speaker 1>swung a little too wide, or you hit that yellow line,

0:30:10.720 --> 0:30:15.240
<v Speaker 1>and um, so I'm suspicious that you're drunk, like you know.

0:30:16.080 --> 0:30:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Like that, you can almost invent a reason to pull

0:30:19.320 --> 0:30:22.920
<v Speaker 1>someone over and under any circumstances. So let's just start

0:30:22.960 --> 0:30:26.840
<v Speaker 1>with that. When you pull over a car, UM, Supposedly,

0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:28.840
<v Speaker 1>to pull someone over, legally, you need to have witnessed

0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:32.640
<v Speaker 1>a violation UM. Or you can run the plates and

0:30:32.680 --> 0:30:35.040
<v Speaker 1>see if their cars stolen or if there's a warrant

0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:37.120
<v Speaker 1>out for the owner. That's a big thing you see

0:30:37.120 --> 0:30:40.920
<v Speaker 1>on cops all the time. UM. And the cop can

0:30:40.960 --> 0:30:44.640
<v Speaker 1>make a stop as long as they can describe specific

0:30:44.680 --> 0:30:48.480
<v Speaker 1>factors that fit the profile. Right car, car full of

0:30:48.520 --> 0:30:51.560
<v Speaker 1>black kids. Not okay to just pull that car over,

0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:55.640
<v Speaker 1>not for that reason. But if they say, like I

0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:59.400
<v Speaker 1>saw um smoke coming out the windows. Um, they were

0:30:59.480 --> 0:31:03.280
<v Speaker 1>driving around aradically and it smelled like pot smoke from

0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:09.000
<v Speaker 1>the road, then that is a reason Number two. When

0:31:09.000 --> 0:31:11.160
<v Speaker 1>you go to a question the suspect, that's moving things

0:31:11.200 --> 0:31:13.400
<v Speaker 1>up a notch. Uh, you don't have to get a

0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:15.000
<v Speaker 1>ticket when you get pulled over. You might just get

0:31:15.080 --> 0:31:18.800
<v Speaker 1>questioned if you seem suspicious. Um, and they can you know,

0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:20.800
<v Speaker 1>they'll shine that light in the car and they'll look

0:31:20.840 --> 0:31:24.840
<v Speaker 1>at everything that they can see without actually searching the car. Yeah,

0:31:24.880 --> 0:31:28.240
<v Speaker 1>and that's well within their right what's called plane view exactly.

0:31:28.680 --> 0:31:30.480
<v Speaker 1>So if you have like a bag of pots sitting

0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:32.160
<v Speaker 1>out on the front seat with you and the cops

0:31:32.160 --> 0:31:35.600
<v Speaker 1>sees it, that just opened your entire car and your

0:31:35.680 --> 0:31:37.880
<v Speaker 1>person up to a search. Yes, and you that means

0:31:37.920 --> 0:31:41.360
<v Speaker 1>you are super high because now now there's probable cause.

0:31:41.680 --> 0:31:45.320
<v Speaker 1>But if you have long hair and you have an

0:31:45.320 --> 0:31:48.400
<v Speaker 1>open half gallon of ice cream next to you, still

0:31:48.440 --> 0:31:51.760
<v Speaker 1>not enough. My race is suspicions, but that still should

0:31:51.800 --> 0:31:54.800
<v Speaker 1>not be enough to um give them probable cause to

0:31:54.840 --> 0:31:57.880
<v Speaker 1>search your car. Well, I got profiled in Texas. Me

0:31:57.960 --> 0:32:00.480
<v Speaker 1>and my best friend Brett many years ago I to college,

0:32:00.520 --> 0:32:03.320
<v Speaker 1>did a big out west trip for two months and

0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the cops said he didn't put He said he pulled

0:32:06.560 --> 0:32:09.560
<v Speaker 1>us over because I didn't have my seat belt on. Um,

0:32:09.600 --> 0:32:11.400
<v Speaker 1>why he really pulled us over? Us because we were

0:32:11.440 --> 0:32:15.560
<v Speaker 1>too scruffy looking guys with tattoos and beards in a

0:32:15.640 --> 0:32:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Volkswagen van. Um, and he searched the van. He asked

0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:22.600
<v Speaker 1>if he could, and we said he could, And he

0:32:22.600 --> 0:32:24.680
<v Speaker 1>searched the van for like an hour on the side

0:32:24.680 --> 0:32:27.280
<v Speaker 1>of the road. Long story short, chucked in five years,

0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:32.120
<v Speaker 1>five hard ones. No, we didn't get caught with anything,

0:32:32.120 --> 0:32:34.800
<v Speaker 1>and we got away. And he basically was mad at

0:32:34.880 --> 0:32:36.440
<v Speaker 1>us that he wasted his time, and the last thing

0:32:36.440 --> 0:32:38.760
<v Speaker 1>he said was a get out of Texas. So and

0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I said, I'm trying to sir. But the point is

0:32:41.520 --> 0:32:44.920
<v Speaker 1>that that cop asked you if he could search your car,

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:48.959
<v Speaker 1>right he did, and that if you give consent, then

0:32:49.000 --> 0:32:51.400
<v Speaker 1>you were waving your Fourth Amendment rights. But you don't

0:32:51.400 --> 0:32:54.480
<v Speaker 1>have to give consent. Not many people know this. And

0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:57.840
<v Speaker 1>there's some states that make the cop tell you you

0:32:57.880 --> 0:33:01.000
<v Speaker 1>are allowed to refuse the search of your car. Um.

0:33:01.800 --> 0:33:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Not all states do. I've never heard it either. Um. Instead,

0:33:05.400 --> 0:33:07.520
<v Speaker 1>the cop just says, can I search your car in

0:33:07.560 --> 0:33:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the most intimidating voice possible, And most people will just

0:33:11.360 --> 0:33:14.760
<v Speaker 1>fold like a house of cards, um, because they're scared

0:33:14.760 --> 0:33:16.760
<v Speaker 1>of the cop or whatever. Even if they do have

0:33:16.880 --> 0:33:18.640
<v Speaker 1>something in there, they're not going to be like, Nope,

0:33:18.760 --> 0:33:21.520
<v Speaker 1>you're not allowed to search the car. So the point

0:33:21.520 --> 0:33:23.800
<v Speaker 1>where the cop asks if he can search the car

0:33:24.280 --> 0:33:28.600
<v Speaker 1>is usually in the absence of something that nothing in

0:33:28.680 --> 0:33:33.720
<v Speaker 1>plain sight, but also that cops suspicious suspicions are raised.

0:33:34.360 --> 0:33:36.720
<v Speaker 1>He just can't quite prove it. So I'll ask you

0:33:36.760 --> 0:33:38.960
<v Speaker 1>if you can search your car. If you say no,

0:33:39.800 --> 0:33:43.080
<v Speaker 1>the cop can say, well, I'm I'm going to detain

0:33:43.120 --> 0:33:47.600
<v Speaker 1>you temporarily. Right Basically, I can go, I will wait

0:33:47.640 --> 0:33:49.760
<v Speaker 1>it out, I can get a warrant. I'm gonna search

0:33:49.840 --> 0:33:52.880
<v Speaker 1>that car, right, Okay. If he wants to get a warrant,

0:33:52.920 --> 0:33:55.160
<v Speaker 1>that's different. Like what he's doing now is trying to

0:33:55.200 --> 0:33:58.440
<v Speaker 1>do everything he can to search your car without having

0:33:58.440 --> 0:34:00.760
<v Speaker 1>to go to the trouble of getting a warrant without

0:34:01.000 --> 0:34:03.840
<v Speaker 1>probable cause like seeing a bag of pot in the

0:34:03.840 --> 0:34:08.279
<v Speaker 1>front seat. Right time was that they could detain you

0:34:08.360 --> 0:34:10.560
<v Speaker 1>for up to like ninety minutes while they called the

0:34:10.600 --> 0:34:13.320
<v Speaker 1>canine unit out, And the canine unit has been shown

0:34:13.719 --> 0:34:17.000
<v Speaker 1>to if the canine unit sniffs around your car, that's

0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:20.439
<v Speaker 1>not an unreasonable search. And if the canine smells something

0:34:20.560 --> 0:34:23.160
<v Speaker 1>or indicates that there are drugs present, then that does

0:34:23.440 --> 0:34:26.680
<v Speaker 1>provide probable cause for a full search under the Fourth Amendment.

0:34:26.760 --> 0:34:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Right they change that. Yeah. Um. In April this past April,

0:34:32.400 --> 0:34:36.040
<v Speaker 1>the Supreme Court had decision that said, no, you really

0:34:36.080 --> 0:34:38.879
<v Speaker 1>can't make people wait around while the drug dog comes out.

0:34:39.360 --> 0:34:41.360
<v Speaker 1>They're like, we're not opposed to that, but the point

0:34:41.360 --> 0:34:46.440
<v Speaker 1>of a traffic stop is to promote and encourage traffic safety,

0:34:46.880 --> 0:34:51.320
<v Speaker 1>not to cast a drug drag net for drug couriers. Um.

0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:56.880
<v Speaker 1>And you you cannot detain people without a reasonable suspicion

0:34:57.560 --> 0:34:59.440
<v Speaker 1>to wait for the drug dog to come out. If

0:34:59.480 --> 0:35:01.640
<v Speaker 1>they tell you you can't, they you're not allowed to

0:35:01.640 --> 0:35:03.840
<v Speaker 1>search their car. That's good. I wonder if it had

0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:06.920
<v Speaker 1>anything to do with um. If you look up online,

0:35:07.000 --> 0:35:10.200
<v Speaker 1>there are ways that cops can make a drug dog signal,

0:35:10.760 --> 0:35:15.080
<v Speaker 1>basically by how they're handling the dog, and there's a

0:35:15.120 --> 0:35:17.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of suspicion, and they'll play him side by side,

0:35:17.680 --> 0:35:19.600
<v Speaker 1>like you see this cops doing it right, And if

0:35:19.600 --> 0:35:21.399
<v Speaker 1>you see this cop, watch this little thing he does.

0:35:21.680 --> 0:35:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Then the dog barks. And basically there was a lot

0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:30.400
<v Speaker 1>of speculation that bad cops would use the well not that,

0:35:30.440 --> 0:35:33.280
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, essentially making the dog signal a false alert

0:35:33.320 --> 0:35:35.600
<v Speaker 1>just to give them reason. Well, the dog barked, So

0:35:35.640 --> 0:35:39.319
<v Speaker 1>now I can I can search your car or and

0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:41.120
<v Speaker 1>maybe it all started because I meant to bring this

0:35:41.280 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 1>up a second ago. Suspicion can be they seem nervous, right,

0:35:46.840 --> 0:35:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Like everyone's nervous when a cop pulls them over, even

0:35:49.680 --> 0:35:52.359
<v Speaker 1>if you haven't done anything. It's just nerve wracking. It's

0:35:52.360 --> 0:35:54.800
<v Speaker 1>like white coat blood pressure. Yeah. I mean, like a

0:35:54.800 --> 0:35:56.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of people's blood pressure is high at the doctor

0:35:56.800 --> 0:35:59.360
<v Speaker 1>because they're nervous about, you know, being at the doctor.

0:35:59.440 --> 0:36:02.839
<v Speaker 1>There's someone's standing at my window with a gun, right

0:36:03.120 --> 0:36:06.239
<v Speaker 1>Like it's nerve wracking. Yeah. So the Supreme Court said, no,

0:36:06.440 --> 0:36:08.640
<v Speaker 1>you guys, you have to have a reasonable suspicion to

0:36:08.719 --> 0:36:11.000
<v Speaker 1>detain somebody on the side of the road that they've

0:36:11.040 --> 0:36:15.319
<v Speaker 1>committed another crime. It can't just be I'm pulling you over.

0:36:15.400 --> 0:36:17.279
<v Speaker 1>You have to wait for ninety minutes while the drug

0:36:17.280 --> 0:36:19.680
<v Speaker 1>dog comes out so I can bust you or try

0:36:19.719 --> 0:36:21.840
<v Speaker 1>to bust you or whatever. That was. That was a

0:36:21.840 --> 0:36:24.040
<v Speaker 1>big deal that they came up with that. Yeah, we

0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:26.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't in Texas. We didn't have the drug dog come out,

0:36:26.200 --> 0:36:28.960
<v Speaker 1>but we were I felt like we were on the

0:36:29.000 --> 0:36:30.600
<v Speaker 1>side of the road for an hour while he dug

0:36:30.640 --> 0:36:34.440
<v Speaker 1>through that entire van um just you could tell he

0:36:34.520 --> 0:37:03.920
<v Speaker 1>was he really wanted to find something. Yeah, all right,

0:37:04.239 --> 0:37:08.120
<v Speaker 1>let's open the canib worms, my friend. Racial profiling. It's

0:37:08.120 --> 0:37:13.000
<v Speaker 1>a big, big deal in this country. It's a problem,

0:37:13.080 --> 0:37:17.800
<v Speaker 1>and um let's talk about it. Okay, that's good. Uh.

0:37:17.800 --> 0:37:20.520
<v Speaker 1>So that is basically it's a form of predicted profiling,

0:37:21.320 --> 0:37:24.279
<v Speaker 1>uh where one of, if not the only factor, is

0:37:24.760 --> 0:37:30.520
<v Speaker 1>skin color. Right that like, um oh, let's say that, um,

0:37:30.600 --> 0:37:35.719
<v Speaker 1>Mexican people are way more um prone to sell meth.

0:37:36.600 --> 0:37:39.680
<v Speaker 1>So let's go hang out at that Hispanic neighborhood. Right,

0:37:40.120 --> 0:37:44.320
<v Speaker 1>but there's a couple of things wrong with that, um,

0:37:44.360 --> 0:37:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and that is racial profiling. Some people actually defend it, saying, well,

0:37:51.280 --> 0:37:55.879
<v Speaker 1>if you look at prison statistics, Hispanics are far more

0:37:56.000 --> 0:37:59.759
<v Speaker 1>likely to be imprisoned for drug crimes than say, white

0:37:59.760 --> 0:38:04.400
<v Speaker 1>p bowl, so that makes sense, right right, Okay. The

0:38:04.480 --> 0:38:07.200
<v Speaker 1>other saying right right, I'm playing along here. The other

0:38:07.239 --> 0:38:11.080
<v Speaker 1>side of the coin is that you can use those

0:38:11.080 --> 0:38:15.000
<v Speaker 1>same statistics to point to the idea that Hispanics and

0:38:15.080 --> 0:38:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Blacks are disproportionately targeted for drug busts than other people. Right,

0:38:21.719 --> 0:38:24.080
<v Speaker 1>and so the same this is an ed points out

0:38:24.160 --> 0:38:28.000
<v Speaker 1>This is one of the problems with this debate is

0:38:28.040 --> 0:38:33.040
<v Speaker 1>both sides used the same statistics differently to prove their point. Yeah.

0:38:33.080 --> 0:38:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Another thing he points out is that people that say

0:38:37.560 --> 0:38:40.600
<v Speaker 1>some people will say that it is institutionalized racism and

0:38:40.640 --> 0:38:44.560
<v Speaker 1>its harassment of minority Yeah, straight up. People who defend

0:38:44.560 --> 0:38:48.360
<v Speaker 1>against it say, cops harass criminals, and if those criminals

0:38:48.360 --> 0:38:51.560
<v Speaker 1>happen to be minorities, t s. That's not our fault.

0:38:52.280 --> 0:38:54.240
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's just the reality of the world

0:38:54.239 --> 0:38:58.040
<v Speaker 1>we live in. Even further, there's people who say, yes,

0:38:58.320 --> 0:39:00.799
<v Speaker 1>racial profiling is the thing, and it's an effective tool

0:39:00.840 --> 0:39:06.120
<v Speaker 1>of law enforcements. Sorry, welcome the reality. Um. Those people

0:39:06.440 --> 0:39:10.040
<v Speaker 1>usually have their arguments demolished pretty quickly, including by professionals.

0:39:10.040 --> 0:39:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I read this UM this interview or well an article

0:39:14.160 --> 0:39:18.200
<v Speaker 1>about the former chief chief of police of Palo Alto

0:39:18.760 --> 0:39:23.880
<v Speaker 1>around San Francisco area, and UM, he also grew up

0:39:23.920 --> 0:39:27.040
<v Speaker 1>as an Oakland cop, and he was talking about that

0:39:27.120 --> 0:39:29.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of racial profiling that you were where they would

0:39:29.200 --> 0:39:31.440
<v Speaker 1>just sit out and like, um, high crime neighborhoods and

0:39:31.480 --> 0:39:34.319
<v Speaker 1>pull over anybody white, and they were doing like that

0:39:34.480 --> 0:39:37.000
<v Speaker 1>for the same reasons. And he was saying it almost

0:39:37.000 --> 0:39:39.759
<v Speaker 1>never worked. He said that, Um, they also would have

0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:43.200
<v Speaker 1>like long dragnets on stretches of highway and they would

0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:46.120
<v Speaker 1>target Hispanic people in like low riders and he said

0:39:46.239 --> 0:39:50.560
<v Speaker 1>almost never worked. And he said that it's ineffective. Right,

0:39:51.120 --> 0:39:55.279
<v Speaker 1>it's also lazy policing, because he said, the better alternative

0:39:55.320 --> 0:39:59.359
<v Speaker 1>is to forget who who's what color, but just watch

0:39:59.480 --> 0:40:01.920
<v Speaker 1>for somebody be leaning in a car that's just pulled

0:40:01.920 --> 0:40:07.279
<v Speaker 1>over under the curb, or somebody making furtive moment movements. Right,

0:40:07.360 --> 0:40:09.520
<v Speaker 1>look for behavior that is actually linked to crime. Not

0:40:09.920 --> 0:40:12.320
<v Speaker 1>there's a white person in a black high crime neighborhood,

0:40:12.400 --> 0:40:17.640
<v Speaker 1>so therefore their their um, they're buying drugs, or even

0:40:17.800 --> 0:40:20.479
<v Speaker 1>even worse than that, there's a black person who lives

0:40:20.480 --> 0:40:23.880
<v Speaker 1>in a high crime neighborhood, they must be a drug dealer.

0:40:24.320 --> 0:40:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Let me go stop and frisk them. Um, that that

0:40:27.680 --> 0:40:32.839
<v Speaker 1>is just lazy policing. It's it's shorthand policing. Whereas if

0:40:32.880 --> 0:40:35.719
<v Speaker 1>you look for actual criminal behaviors you're going to have

0:40:36.160 --> 0:40:38.120
<v Speaker 1>you're going to be far more successful in busting the

0:40:38.160 --> 0:40:41.000
<v Speaker 1>bad guys. But even worse than it being like lazy

0:40:41.080 --> 0:40:43.839
<v Speaker 1>policing and ineffective in a lot of ways, this guy

0:40:43.840 --> 0:40:46.720
<v Speaker 1>pointed out, like, and I've seen this in many different places.

0:40:47.239 --> 0:40:52.879
<v Speaker 1>If you want to encourage mistrust and animosity toward the police,

0:40:53.200 --> 0:40:55.920
<v Speaker 1>scoop up every member in the community and take him

0:40:55.920 --> 0:40:58.359
<v Speaker 1>to jail, just on the off chance that you might

0:40:58.400 --> 0:41:01.400
<v Speaker 1>find something that sticks. If you want to set a

0:41:01.440 --> 0:41:05.520
<v Speaker 1>town off or any population off, do that for a

0:41:05.560 --> 0:41:08.160
<v Speaker 1>few years and see what happens. And that's what we've

0:41:08.160 --> 0:41:11.360
<v Speaker 1>been seeing time and time again. It's systematic. Yes, it's

0:41:11.360 --> 0:41:15.600
<v Speaker 1>systematic targeting and then a systematic reaction to uh. And

0:41:15.680 --> 0:41:18.399
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned cops a lot. If you're out there saying, well, yeah,

0:41:18.440 --> 0:41:22.360
<v Speaker 1>but on cops every time they pull over, that's a

0:41:22.360 --> 0:41:24.680
<v Speaker 1>shady black guy in the neighborhood he has something on

0:41:24.719 --> 0:41:27.000
<v Speaker 1>him and gets arrested. Or that white kid in the

0:41:27.000 --> 0:41:29.880
<v Speaker 1>bad neighborhood, he's there to buy drugs. It's a TV

0:41:29.960 --> 0:41:33.000
<v Speaker 1>show that's edited. Right. They don't show you the twenty

0:41:33.000 --> 0:41:35.960
<v Speaker 1>five stops where there is no crime because it would

0:41:36.000 --> 0:41:38.719
<v Speaker 1>not be a fun TV show. Exactly all right. So

0:41:38.920 --> 0:41:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I think people use that as like dummies use that

0:41:41.680 --> 0:41:45.200
<v Speaker 1>as proof sometimes, like watch cops Man every single time, right,

0:41:45.440 --> 0:41:49.399
<v Speaker 1>Like yeah, exactly right, Like all all Matthe users are

0:41:49.440 --> 0:41:52.799
<v Speaker 1>scrawny and white. So if you see a scrawny white guy,

0:41:53.040 --> 0:41:56.759
<v Speaker 1>matthe User, that's right, or marathon runner right, you know.

0:41:58.120 --> 0:42:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Uh So, obviously there can be h rogue cops, racist

0:42:03.120 --> 0:42:05.960
<v Speaker 1>cops that are doing their thing on a on a

0:42:06.000 --> 0:42:08.719
<v Speaker 1>singular level or with their partner. But it becomes a

0:42:08.840 --> 0:42:12.360
<v Speaker 1>real real problem. That's a problem. It becomes a super

0:42:12.400 --> 0:42:16.000
<v Speaker 1>real problem when it is part of the system. Uh

0:42:16.040 --> 0:42:18.399
<v Speaker 1>In which was the case with the New Jersey State

0:42:18.400 --> 0:42:21.279
<v Speaker 1>troopers in the late nineties. They did a ten year

0:42:21.320 --> 0:42:24.720
<v Speaker 1>study and found out that eighty percent of all traffic

0:42:24.760 --> 0:42:30.040
<v Speaker 1>stops were minorities over a ten year period, and they

0:42:30.040 --> 0:42:33.640
<v Speaker 1>found that there was a quote macho elitist culture within

0:42:33.680 --> 0:42:38.800
<v Speaker 1>the state trooper ranks end quote and um. Basically, even

0:42:38.800 --> 0:42:43.880
<v Speaker 1>though they officially said racial profiling isn't right, there was

0:42:44.800 --> 0:42:47.879
<v Speaker 1>a system in place where veterans would really coach and

0:42:48.080 --> 0:42:51.120
<v Speaker 1>teach the younger cops like this is how we're doing it,

0:42:52.320 --> 0:42:56.240
<v Speaker 1>and they were basically outed. Um. The authorities assigned federal

0:42:56.239 --> 0:42:59.879
<v Speaker 1>monitors to those troopers, and evidently by two thousand six

0:43:00.000 --> 0:43:02.960
<v Speaker 1>they had um a report suggested they had eliminated that

0:43:03.000 --> 0:43:07.200
<v Speaker 1>profiling completely. Yeah, which is good if that's the case,

0:43:07.880 --> 0:43:11.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, and I'm sure it is. New Jersey State

0:43:11.200 --> 0:43:13.480
<v Speaker 1>troopers are intimidating. You ever seen those guys, and they're

0:43:13.520 --> 0:43:16.719
<v Speaker 1>the ones that look like the military uniforms, which is

0:43:16.719 --> 0:43:19.319
<v Speaker 1>a whole other issue altogether. Well, I mean not like

0:43:19.520 --> 0:43:23.919
<v Speaker 1>M sixteen, but they talk about like like the dress blues, yeah,

0:43:24.160 --> 0:43:27.320
<v Speaker 1>boots and all that. Um. It turns out, Chuck, twenty

0:43:27.320 --> 0:43:30.839
<v Speaker 1>two states have lawns that band racial profiling of motorists,

0:43:31.360 --> 0:43:34.120
<v Speaker 1>which is great until you think that that also means

0:43:34.160 --> 0:43:38.440
<v Speaker 1>that states don't. It's kind of weird if you ask me.

0:43:39.160 --> 0:43:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Um and uh. I found a study also from Illinois

0:43:44.080 --> 0:43:47.319
<v Speaker 1>that found that in Illinois, black and Hispanic drivers were

0:43:47.360 --> 0:43:51.160
<v Speaker 1>two times likelier to be stopped and searched, but white

0:43:51.280 --> 0:43:56.480
<v Speaker 1>drivers were two times likelier to have contraband on them.

0:43:56.480 --> 0:44:01.760
<v Speaker 1>That weird. Not only weird, it's it's startling. How it's

0:44:01.920 --> 0:44:07.160
<v Speaker 1>it's not effective, Like there it's not leading to stopping crime, yeah,

0:44:07.200 --> 0:44:10.120
<v Speaker 1>which is sort of the point. Well. And then another

0:44:10.960 --> 0:44:14.120
<v Speaker 1>very controversial a bout of racial profiling that this country

0:44:14.120 --> 0:44:19.040
<v Speaker 1>went through came after September eleven, and in the aftermath

0:44:19.080 --> 0:44:21.919
<v Speaker 1>of that, you would remember every every month or two

0:44:22.280 --> 0:44:27.160
<v Speaker 1>you'd hear about someone who sometimes seeks who aren't even

0:44:27.160 --> 0:44:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Arab would get kicked off of like a plane or

0:44:29.960 --> 0:44:32.239
<v Speaker 1>something like that because they made the pilot nervous just

0:44:32.320 --> 0:44:36.040
<v Speaker 1>being there. Yeah, or T s A would would like

0:44:36.200 --> 0:44:42.400
<v Speaker 1>pat down. Um. Just proportionately more Arab people than white people. Um.

0:44:42.560 --> 0:44:46.120
<v Speaker 1>And now supposedly they based it on your behavior rather

0:44:46.160 --> 0:44:49.440
<v Speaker 1>than your race, so they're not racial profiling any longer, supposedly,

0:44:49.640 --> 0:44:51.799
<v Speaker 1>and it is. I have to say, I haven't heard

0:44:51.800 --> 0:44:53.360
<v Speaker 1>of one of those cases in a while, but it

0:44:53.400 --> 0:44:55.520
<v Speaker 1>seemed like for a while we're hearing about it all

0:44:55.520 --> 0:44:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the time. Yeah, I think there was a heightened sense

0:44:58.239 --> 0:45:01.319
<v Speaker 1>of everything back then. Of course right after. But so

0:45:01.400 --> 0:45:04.360
<v Speaker 1>this guy who used to manage the Ben Gurion Airport

0:45:04.480 --> 0:45:08.799
<v Speaker 1>in um Israel, Rafael Ron, he pointed out that that

0:45:08.880 --> 0:45:11.359
<v Speaker 1>was the exact opposite of what you want to do. Yeah.

0:45:11.360 --> 0:45:12.840
<v Speaker 1>He said, the worst tech in the history of this

0:45:12.880 --> 0:45:16.520
<v Speaker 1>airport was carried out by Japanese in the early seventies.

0:45:17.040 --> 0:45:19.439
<v Speaker 1>And he said, if we're focusing on an ethnic group,

0:45:19.480 --> 0:45:23.680
<v Speaker 1>then we're potentially missing someone that's about to do something bad, right,

0:45:23.680 --> 0:45:26.800
<v Speaker 1>which is exactly what happened in two at that airport.

0:45:26.880 --> 0:45:29.879
<v Speaker 1>Three members of the Japanese Red Army walked in with

0:45:30.200 --> 0:45:33.640
<v Speaker 1>machine guns and violin cases and just opened them up

0:45:33.680 --> 0:45:37.520
<v Speaker 1>and started opening fire on the crowd and killed I think,

0:45:37.719 --> 0:45:41.680
<v Speaker 1>um twenty six people. And they were hired by the PLO.

0:45:42.120 --> 0:45:45.200
<v Speaker 1>PLO knew that they could never walk into the the

0:45:45.280 --> 0:45:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Israeli airport, but the Japanese people would unnoticed. And so

0:45:49.640 --> 0:45:51.120
<v Speaker 1>this guy is saying the same thing like, if you're

0:45:51.120 --> 0:45:54.520
<v Speaker 1>really on the lookout for your enemy, like again, watch

0:45:54.560 --> 0:45:58.000
<v Speaker 1>for behavior, like do actual police work. Don't just use

0:45:58.000 --> 0:46:00.799
<v Speaker 1>this lazy shorthand stuff because it's gonna it's going to

0:46:00.880 --> 0:46:03.720
<v Speaker 1>take off this entire population and it's going to cause

0:46:03.840 --> 0:46:06.600
<v Speaker 1>in you to miss the real crime. Well, yeah, you've

0:46:06.600 --> 0:46:10.160
<v Speaker 1>got like it sounds like a movie. Them the cops

0:46:10.160 --> 0:46:12.880
<v Speaker 1>are at the airport and they detained this, uh, this

0:46:13.000 --> 0:46:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Arab guy who's like late for a business meeting. And

0:46:15.920 --> 0:46:18.680
<v Speaker 1>then in the in the same shot, the uh, the

0:46:18.719 --> 0:46:22.480
<v Speaker 1>white dude who was a Timothy McVeigh just walks right

0:46:22.480 --> 0:46:24.360
<v Speaker 1>behind him with the with the bomb on his body.

0:46:24.880 --> 0:46:28.000
<v Speaker 1>You realize you just described the subplot to Airplane Too,

0:46:30.920 --> 0:46:34.400
<v Speaker 1>did I? Yeah, remember Sonny Bono had the bomb. A

0:46:34.400 --> 0:46:37.279
<v Speaker 1>little mild mannered weasily dude. Yeah, that's right, And I

0:46:37.320 --> 0:46:39.680
<v Speaker 1>think he walks through while they're jacking up some like

0:46:40.080 --> 0:46:45.680
<v Speaker 1>I think plo dudes. Maybe that was subconscious. Wow, so

<v Speaker 1>there's we could do a series of shows on this.

0:47:10.320 --> 0:47:13.160
<v Speaker 1>article by the Crabs. Or And since I said grabs there,

0:47:13.160 --> 0:47:17.359
<v Speaker 1>it's time for a listener mail. I'm gonna call this

0:47:17.480 --> 0:47:21.160
<v Speaker 1>wee f us, which is short for a water enema

0:47:21.440 --> 0:47:24.960
<v Speaker 1>from a water slide or from a slide. And this

0:47:25.000 --> 0:47:29.200
<v Speaker 1>is from a Tiffany last name withheld. She says uh.

0:47:29.360 --> 0:47:31.200
<v Speaker 1>As a kid, I remember being a chubby eleven year

0:47:31.200 --> 0:47:33.839
<v Speaker 1>old girl excited for her first trip to Disney World

0:47:33.840 --> 0:47:36.839
<v Speaker 1>in the water park then known as Typhoon. Lagoon had

0:47:36.880 --> 0:47:39.759
<v Speaker 1>a brand new Neon green with black polka up bathing suit.

0:47:40.239 --> 0:47:43.560
<v Speaker 1>It was all excited and Uh, to go down the Cowabunga,

0:47:43.600 --> 0:47:46.440
<v Speaker 1>a two fourteen foot tall water slide on a steep

0:47:46.520 --> 0:47:50.160
<v Speaker 1>sixty degree angle. They tell you to keep your ankles crossed,

0:47:50.160 --> 0:47:52.400
<v Speaker 1>but it's a little chubby, eleven year old girl. My

0:47:52.480 --> 0:47:54.759
<v Speaker 1>brain comprehended, but my little legs did not have the

0:47:54.800 --> 0:47:57.799
<v Speaker 1>strength for all two d and fourteen feet Thank you

0:47:57.800 --> 0:48:00.880
<v Speaker 1>see where this is headed. After plumbing the bottom, immediately

0:48:00.960 --> 0:48:03.640
<v Speaker 1>knew something was not right. I clinched my thighs as

0:48:03.640 --> 0:48:08.239
<v Speaker 1>tightly as I could, pulling out the massive water slide wedgie.

0:48:08.520 --> 0:48:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Not two steps from exiting the slide, though, a different

0:48:11.239 --> 0:48:15.160
<v Speaker 1>type of waterfall began to trickle down my legs. No

0:48:15.200 --> 0:48:17.759
<v Speaker 1>matter how tightly I clinched, I couldn't stop it. I

0:48:17.800 --> 0:48:21.240
<v Speaker 1>waddled up to a gorgeous Australian teenager employee and explain,

0:48:21.280 --> 0:48:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I need a rest room right away. Uh. With a

0:48:24.239 --> 0:48:26.319
<v Speaker 1>smug smile, he pointed all the way to the other

0:48:26.360 --> 0:48:29.440
<v Speaker 1>side of the lagoon, which was a long walk. Just

0:48:29.520 --> 0:48:31.920
<v Speaker 1>as I entered the bathroom, with all the force of

0:48:31.960 --> 0:48:35.520
<v Speaker 1>the water that had entered my body, it exited and

0:48:35.560 --> 0:48:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I single handedly shut down a small portion of Disney

0:48:38.760 --> 0:48:41.480
<v Speaker 1>that day. As embarrassing as this was. I was more

0:48:41.560 --> 0:48:43.920
<v Speaker 1>upset that my new bathing suit was ruined. My parents

0:48:43.920 --> 0:48:46.480
<v Speaker 1>were furious because they had to show out fifty dollars

0:48:46.480 --> 0:48:48.960
<v Speaker 1>for a new one Toronto. I hope I didn't gross

0:48:48.960 --> 0:48:52.880
<v Speaker 1>you out too bad. I think of it as a

0:48:52.880 --> 0:48:57.160
<v Speaker 1>cautionary lesson for your listeners. Thanks for all your hard work. UM,
