The Law is for the Protection of the People

Found this and thought it was interesting. I wouldn't doubt this being the case in more places than New Jersey...

Hey Now Kidz,
Did you know that there is a law on the books in New Jersey that if a car is bearing a Grateful Dead or Grateful Dead type sticker you can be pulled over and searched, The probable cause being Grateful Dead fans are known drug users.
This is just one example of police profiling. Profiling actually comes in many forms and often goes with trends, ie; racial, sexual orientation,clothing choice (droopy pants, tie~dyes), multiracial couples/buddies, older vehicle, rear view mirror attachments,bumper stickers and actually anything they may not like and can use as an excuse to stop and search you.
Tell your representative to sponsor and/or support legislation against police profiling.
