There are many reasons that in a republican democracy like ours, which has a great Constitution with legal , social, cultural and civil rights attached to it, that people might, just might fear some Huge Government conspiracy to be a Big Brother and Watch us all 24/7 in weird, scientific almost sci-fi ways that would intrude on our supposed privacy. Therefore, ID cards, TV cameras in cities, profiling say Mosques that the LA Police are said to be contemplating, might be viewed by many liberal civil libertarians, ACLU types, Hispanic or Muslim or Black groups to be overeaching in an effort to prevent illegality , border problems, terrorist problems, gang problems and other preventive type actions which might prevent crimes. Many of these types would say this is a Nazi, Communist, or some type of Police state. That is often brought up especially if Conservatives, Christians, Republicans, Police or military types introduce Profiling of some type. That in most cases no one's rights have ever been really trashed by these attemps, since most of them in the USA are new and not even in a trial basis, one is apt to say, with terror, crime out of control , gangs, yes, racial gangs, the fact that mosques and madrasses are teaching in America terrorist trash and malarky , why not try profiling.?The media, leftists, libertarians of all stripes, and almost all minorities will howl at this. Yet, by stats, it is these very people that should be profiled to save law breaking that may endanger the very people these groups say they are protecting. I am for profiling. Period. I want the police to have stats on varied gangs, criminal groups, people with records, whether black, purple, gold, tangerine or whatever color. I want radical mosques profiled, bugged and their imans and mullahs to be watched. I know all the cries about justice, laws being distorted, Fascism, Communism (well liberals never complain about Communists), but this is America. Not even in the 4 administrations of FDR where it could be said One Party ruled the USA completely, did people really fear the Government was going to jail Republicans , Hoover, or old ladies from Pasadena. It is only when a conservative government or police or military people warn that crime is killing us and could be escalated to even include nuclear blackmail that people cry out, Oh please, don't profile. Yet stats show that minorities do cause more crime. Stats show, terrorism is now the purview of Muslims not Presbyterians or Mormons or Episcopals. The people who are viewed as dangerous because they already have records, have committed crimes and have threatened the USA should be profiled and we have to stop this PC nonsense of frisking old people in wheel chairs, kids under 6 and non Middle Eastern-North African-SWAsia peoples in airports. We know pretty well who the villains are and it is time to keep even a closer eye on them. Good for the Los Angeles police.
