Res ipsa loquitur and racial profiling [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Tanovich chronicles the evidence that suggests that racial profiling is a widespread phenomenon. The issue that should be of concern is not whether there is a plausible alternative explanation for the disproportionate stops but rather whether the police are, in fact, engaging in selective enforcement.
