What are the major Court holdings regarding racial profiling and equal protection cited in the textbook? Which holdings do you agree with, and which do you disagree with? Explain your position

What will be an ideal response?


The major Court holdings regarding racial profiling and equal protection are United
States v. Sokolow, Whren v. United States, Brown v. Oneonta, and United States
v. Travis. I agree with all of them, because they are efforts at determining the
primary motivation of the officer. Is the officer making the stop primarily due to the
race of the person, or is it primarily due to another reason, and race happens to be
involved?
