Racial profiling or
ethnic profiling is the act of suspecting, targeting or discriminating against a person on the basis of their ethnicity, religion or nationality, rather than on individual suspicion or available evidence.
[1][2] Racial profiling involves discrimination against minority populations and often builds on negative stereotypes of the targeted demographic.
[3][4][5] Racial profiling can involve disproportionate
stop searches,
traffic stops, and the use of
surveillance technology for
facial identification.
