Yes, you can make that presumption freely in this case. Firstly, I did not make the distinction between guilt or innocence because the proper criterion used to make a stop or inquiry is independent of it. Secondly, the subject matter, population, data sets, sampling methodology, surveying technique, data collection, subjective analysis, etc., can all be cooked...what flavor would you like? It's a non-binary gig,...if 60 Minutes wants a study and some data which will suggest that Hispanic males with Broward County plates are being unjustly profiled on I-75, I can get it done.
