You have to look at profiling from a realistic approach. The only reason it's conducted is because it works, and that is a fact, whether racially, sexually, visually, etc.Im not against stopping drunk drivers. I just don't think lining people up and visually profiling them and choosing people to check in that fashion, which is what checkpoints really are, is doing it "right".
You can argue discrimination all day and all night, but if profiling did not work to any degree, it would not continue to this day.
That doesn't make profiling right, but in the circumstance of visually profiling drunks on a public road, it's beyond justified.
