A person can stand on public property and look at whatever he/she wants, as long as their actions do not harm or threaten another person. However, what does standing on the sidewalk at 1am have to do with stopping profiled motorists on the highway and searching their cars for no reason other than the 'appearance of suspicion'? What would it have to do with profiling people in airports? I think I missed the connection between our posts.
