On May 14, 2001, three young African-American males were pulled over by the Indianapolis, Indiana, Police Department. According to one of the passenger's stepfather, the stop was a blatant example of racial profiling.1 According to the officers on the scene, it was a legitimate traffic stop for failure to signal a turn.
