I think though they stopped the practice of random stops at check-
points. I believe it is constitutional to have a check point with a
pre-determined number: Stop every 7th car, or every 8th car, etc.
I think they did away with that. Also, they did away with profiling
completely, when in fact some profiling (not pure racial profiling)
is nothing more than good police work.
