Yes to an extent, what is commonly refered to as racial profiling makes sense (when not abused). For example:
A car load of black or hispanic kids are rolling around a lets say mostly white upscale neighborhood at 3 am,plates get run, and it's pretty obvious they don't live in the area and may be up to no good I believe is an acceptable type of profiling.
I will say the same for a car load of suburban white boys driving around the hood,in high drug areas etc. That contrary to popular belief is also profiling. Crime needs to be controlled and I dont personally see it as a violation of ones right's to be stopped when they are deemed to be suspicous. Of course people will call me racist etc, but to an open mind what I just stated makes sense and is fair.

Law enforcement agencies should be sensitive to racial and ethnic practices as long as there are not offensive to the society or against public order.

No, I do not feel that racial profiling should be employed. It has the potential to create a self fulfilling prophecy. Besides that, people who act suspicious in the eyes of cops need to be addressed, regardless of their race

Yes, because criminals don't play by any rules.
