being as how I'm 20 now this shouldn't be an issue for me, but the whole profiling is ok thing just bothers me. I'm jewish should i go and sew a yellow jewish star onto my clothes like the nazi's did? or should i just have to put a decal on my car saying that. its just messed up in every respect.

I gotta say, I can respect your opinion on profiling but you're comparing apples to oranges with this one. It's not illegal to be Jewish and drive with more than two passengers in the car. It IS illegal to be 17 and drive with a car load of your peers. All this does is mark the car so the officer has PROBABLE CAUSE for the stop versus REASONABLE SUSPICION. Same thing. Not illegal to be Jewish and drive after 11:01, but it IS illegal if you're 17. The sad fact is that despite the laws being in place, SOME KIDS WILL BREAK THEM EVERY CHANCE THEY GET. Don't believe me? Spend a day in municipal court to see how many are there for tickets GDL violations. Same goes for criminal law, and if you don't believe me on that one, spend a day in Family Court.
And in all honesty, I can't speak for every LEO out there, but if a kid's driving his drunk parents home and a cop tickets him/her for it, that cop's a douche and needs to go back and re-read the definition of the word 'discretion.'
