Racial profiling is referred to as neighborhood imprisonment and economic genocide. It focuses on police officers targeting African Canadians in traffic stops claiming that the stop was justified due to suspicious activity. Canadians in the general believe that the law should be carried out from a neutral prospective. Racial profiling is classified as a form of oppression, and when youth are exposed to this type of behavior their dignity and self-esteem could be damaged beyond repair. Proving that you were a victim of racial profiling can be extremely expensive. That is why most cases aren’t reported. People who report/file a complaint develop a fear of policing and that themselves would be classified as a suspect in future crimes, and be harassed
