Where did you read the unwritten and arrive at the idea that I think that LE/security types are more often than not dishonest when stopping people? Did I write that LE/security types are more often than not dishonest when stopping people? No. I suggest being careful about putting words in the mouths of others or imagining what they presumed/assumed when one hasn't even correctly read what they wrote.

The truth is that the sets of data we went through indicated that law enforcement/security types were not always or even often honest -- especially about the stopping of innocent people.

I do have a bias -- and a strong one at that -- for data-based analysis, especially when it comes to matters of security and government relations.



Where in this thread did I talk about profiling examples, related to "prohibition", which you claim were/are anomalies? Please do share and/or address the right persons.

Am I to presume that those "profiling examples" which you claim are "anomalies" are fully to your satisfaction? [I wouldn't presume such. However, if you care to share how the "profiling examples" were/are "anomalies" and whether those "anomalies" are to your satisfaction it could be amusing.]

That which people claim are anomalies are often not anomalies; it just requires drilling down into the data and classifying and qualifying items more fully. But careful reading and analysis of data is not everyone's cup of tea.

Did I say: "LE/security "types" are more often than not dishonest when stopping people"? No, no, no.
Are these studies published? I am not familiar with this, but would be interested in reading.

I did try to run through the thread but couldn't find the references. If you did post could you post again?

When stopping "innocent people", the data shows the officers are dishonest in what way?
