The unfortunate thing is, it sort of works. If you were able to stop and search 100 people as a cop, you would have more success stopping "stereotypical gangsters" than random people. And yes, many of those stereotypes are based on race and social status.

It creates many other issues, from discrimination to trust in institutions to pushing people into crime, but the sad thing is, the basic concept kind of works.
