Instead, spokesman Christopher White said, the officers look for people exhibiting signs of stress, fear or deception, and focus on those people for further investigation.
The only thing the SPOTNiks have done to us is to incredibly dumb-down the definition of "reasonable suspicion" leading to a confrontation/interrogation with a cop. Back in the good old days, a cop had to have explainable reasonable suspicion in order to justify stopping someone (i.e.: Terry Stop). Now, all it takes is for a SPOTNik to say, "He looked nervous."

That's what's terribly wrong. I don't know about anyone else, but I want real police work done by real police within the boundaries of the U.S. and state Constitutions.
