Profiling is a fact of life, you may not even realise it but you probably do it yourself without even realising
I am profiled all the time and have been stopped twice by police who wanted to search me ostensibly cause I look like a long haired drug smoking hippy - see what I did there? A good response would be to take out your camera and photograph the person back - but probably don't try that with the police who never seem to understand you are quite within your rights to photograph them and bad things could happen. But sure I think these guys going around and blatantly calling out people and taking photographs is a bit rude. I am always amused when people offer me drugs or those that ask me if they can buy drugs from me - simply cause of profiling!
