Well, there were these guys who laid down some general principles about some of this in the Bill of Rights, but several decades of state and federal legislators pandering to the 'law and order' crowd, as well as federal and Supreme Court judges gutting many of the protections supposedly afforded by the Bill of Rights have helped lead to this situation.
Oh, and of course there is a long, proud American tradition of legal double standards when it comes to the treatment of black Americans, Hispanic Americans, etc.
And now we have a major-party presidential candidate calling for stop-and-frisk, which a federal judge has already ruled to be unconstitutional because it invariably led to racial profiling. It's a pity you aren't here. You could jump on the Trump bandwagon, too. Don't worry that you don't seem to know dick about the country. That's not a disqualifier in the Trump fanboy crowd.
