I also must bring up the point of "stop and frisk" and DUI checkpoints.  Those programs are designed to make normal law abiding citizens safer.

 

In the case of "stop and frisk".  It's easy to target someone based on how they look, how they are dressed, their demeanor, etc.  Don't want to be stopped and frisked?  Then don't dress or act like a thug.

 

Don't like DUI checkpoints?  The first clue is to not drink and drive.  The arrests made from these kind of checkpoints probably saves lives.  How many people are killed each year due to drunk drivers?
