profiling is a technique that you would not know he was using unless you saw his planing possess and it is legal.\n\nWhat he is doing (I can only assume due to lack of information) is following you around based on (you assume) your race or the like.\n\nYou can do any of the following\n\nCall up the city mayors office\nCall up the police office \nCall your local Representative\n\nComplaining to any of these people will not do any good but it will cause the officer some hassle because he will have to present his patrolling pattern to someone but then he will be back on duty.

Racial Profiling: A Police Manager’s Perspective\n\nRacial profiling is one of the most complex and controversial issues facing law enforcement professionals today. It is an issue that provokes impassioned debate and extensive division within all segments of the community. Whether racial profiling by police officers is a matter of perception or reality loses significance when considering the widespread public belief in its existence and the subsequent liability for law enforcement agencies that encounter allegations of racial profiling.\nThe practice of racial profiling has no place in law enforcement. It is an activity that undermines the public trust vital for an effective community policing organization. Police must be perceived as both providers of public safety and deferential to the civil liberties of those they have sworn to protect and serve. While the majority of police officers serve their communities in a professional and ethical manner, the debate over the reality of racial profiling as a practice in law enforcement is loudest on the side of its existence on a national level. In fact, a 1999 Gallup Poll reveals that 60% of Americans polled believe racial profiling exists. To restore public trust and improve community/police relationships, law enforcement agencies must address both the concerns of the community at large that are relevant to discriminatory policing, and the allegations of racial profiling made by ordinary citizens.\n\nWhat is Racial Profiling?\n\nAn agreed upon definition of racial profiling is almost as controversial as the practice itself. For example, S.989, legislation currently being considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee and commonly referred to as the “End Racial Profiling Act of 2001,” defines racial profiling as the practice of a law enforcement agent relying, to any degree, on race, ethnicity, or national origin in selecting which individuals to subject to routine investigatory activities, or in deciding upon the scope and substance of law enforcement activity following the initial routine investigatory activity, except that racial profiling does not include reliance on such criteria in combination with other identifying factors when the law enforcement agent is seeking to apprehend a specific suspect whose race, ethnicity, or national origin is part of the description of the suspect. Opponents of this legislation consider this too broad a definition encouraging the idea of profiling by police for malevolent motives and adding more confusion and conflict to this incendiary issue even as police executives attempt to develop policies for the effective management and eradication of this practice.\n\nA more common sense definition subscribed to by many police administrators maintains that racial profiling is the use of race as the “sole” basis for a stop. A number of states, including California, have adopted the definition of racial profiling as the practice of detaining a suspect based on a broad set of criteria that casts suspicion on an entire class of people without any individualized suspicion of the particular person being stopped.\n\n\nFurther complicating any conformity of definition in identifying the activity of racial profiling is the distinction made by some activists, including Heather McDonald, a writer for the Manhattan Institute, between “hard profiling” (use of race as the only factor in determining the likelihood of criminal conduct) and “soft profiling” (use of race as one factor among others in assessing the propensity for criminal behavior). Where there is a consensus of agreement concerning this issue is that the practice of racial profiling not only violates the fundamental principles of a democratic society but also is illegal and morally wrong.\n\nIn view of the current social environment and to limit civil liability often associated with allegations of racial profiling, law enforcement agencies must first develop written policies specifically p

First you need relearn your spelling bee. No spelling mistakes is a must when filing a report as a police officer. They offer the technology when you become a police officer. However, just ask a police officer or your police department at your home place who should be able to answer that. They can lead you into a right direction. Good Luck.

The best person to ask is your local law enforcement agency. You may want to take down the officer's name and badge number, so you will have back up in case anyone challenges you, as it is very common not to know this information. Good luck!

They can frisk you if they believe they have probable cause..I was travelling once with a guy who 10 yrs prior had a weapons charge, we got pulled over for speeding he made us get out, frisked us then searched through the entire vehicle for weapons..I don't think racial profiling would get you very far unless you had solid reason

Uh...a formal police report or a book report about police?\n\nBook reports on police are not difficult. You generally fill out the title, author, genre, plot description, and your opinions and reflections.\n\nPolice reports are very formal and direct. They generally include a scene description, the responding officer, the commander on scene, the incident, the steps taken to eradicate/solve the problem, the evidence, the witnesses, the outcome, etc. etc. Ask your local police department for a filed police report to use as a reference, or ask a cop how to write one.  They will know, they spend tons of time writing them.

Just so you know for sure, I'm agreeing with the other person that suggested you call the OPP, the Ontario Provincial Police.\n\nI would call their non-emergency line and report the person.  Because you are submitting a report, your name will be taken down, it's procedure.  You can ask not to have your name disclosed and to be kept confidential.  I'm sure they automatically do that, keep you name confidential, but just for your concern, there's no harm in asking.

I wouldn't tell the local police, because they might ignore it to protect their own officer.  Give the video to the state police or FBI.  They can do something about the officer's misbehavior.

You've fallen to a very well travelled con. You need to lodge a report with your local police authority and get them to forward the report to the Metropolitan Police in the UK.

The only folks that can prosecute criminals are your local law enforcement agency and the district attorney.\n\nIf you'd like to see them potentially prosecuted, you'll need to file a police report with the local law enforcement agency (local to where the crime happened).  It is up to the district attorney to determine whether the person involved will be prosecuted (based on the amount and quality of the evidence, details of the incident, etc.)\n\nThe longer you wait, the less credibility you typically have (especially since there are no independant witnesses).  If you want to file a police report, do it as soon as possible after the incident.  You may be asked to explain any delay in reporting the crime.  \n\nIn the future, the best thing to do for similar situations  is to get to somewhere safe as quickly as possible and call 9-1-1 to report the crime to the police.  If this person was, in fact, drunk, the police are going to want to start looking for them immediately and get them off the road before they actually hurt someone.\n\n---===---\n\nIn response to your edit... why are you letting your boyfriend tell you what to do?  If you want to report it to the police, then report it - you're as much a victim as he is.\n\nObviously, the fact that you are posting this question on Yahoo Answers tells me that you eventually found somewhere safe.  As soon as you get somewhere safe, you call the police.  Somewhere safe can be your home, a place with lots of people, a police station, a fire station, etc.  \n\nIf you report this to the police, something "may" or "may not" happen.  If you don't report it to the police, I guarantee that nothing will happen.  You need to decide for yourself what you want to do.

If you're in some sort of law enforcement position, isn't this a question better addressed by your supervisors or your training?\n\nIf you're not in law enforcement, why do you need to know?  What do you expect to do about it?

Ummm....judges, I'm fairly certain, cannot use tea leaves, crystal balls, or a roll of the dice to determine guilt or innocence.  Not sure why someone who claims to be an officer would suggest otherwise.\n\nGood luck on getting that trial transcript.  At least in California, traffic court is not required to have a court reporter.\n\nI disagree with the notion that the discovery process needed to be done earlier.  If the officer testified that the radar unit was calibrated, then the next logical questions would be when, by who, what were the results, etc.  If the officer didn't testify to the unit being calibrated, then the discovery request probably should have been made earlier if you wanted to know those things.\n\nThe judge may not have meant he and the officer were drinking/golfing buddies.  He may have meant the officer has been testifying before him for 13 years and because of his past testimony, the judge finds the officer to be very credible.  Since the judge does not know you, and perhaps has reason to doubt your side of the event, he may feel it's appropriate to take the officer's word over yours.  Judges or juries do that all the time...one witness is credible and can be believed, the other witness is not so credible and can be disbelieved.  \n\nI would not assume the judge's decision was based solely on the length of time the judge has known the officer.  The judge was maybe a little smart-assed when he said that (as recounted by you), but I don't know that I would just assume that's all he used to make his decision.

Call up a local police department, or just stop by.   They are usually willing to help.  My roommate at school was in CJ, and did a similar project with a department in her local police force.  She just walked in explaining she was a student, and they told her what to look for and introduced her to an office member that really helped her out.
