Police officers seem to profile me just because of my big ass. What type of laws protects me from this type of unwanted influence?

Well I know it sucks.
But see it from this perspective: "If you don't wanna pay more tax to hire more police, then with the current amount of police force they can't help but just try to 'guess' who might likely to be breaking the law."
I'm a black guy who has been stopped by police also because of my "profile".
Later on i found out that the particular car version that I was driving, was one of the types that a lot of drug dealers were driving back then.
Should I be pissed, well kinda. On the other hand, if there weren't a lot of "correct guesses" (black guy doing illegal stuff that drives a specific car) there wouldn't be a profile about it.
In my case after a year I bought another car of the same brand but newer and never got stopped again. And "no" i didn't buy a new car to get out of the profile, but the older car behaved rather difficult on the road when it snowed. (rear wheel drive)
Perhaps instead of feeling like a victim, you could try to change the things that you CAN change. Like dress differently.
Are you being harassed, intimidated, etc?
YES!
Thanks!
