How are they “pulling people over”? Don’t you need some kind of cause for a traffic stop? Just because you put a siren on your car doesn’t mean you can pull people over.

The threshold of evidence for this is "reasonable suspicion", which means that the police can pull you over based on their subjective opinion that a crime, such as being brown, might be committed.

Woah let's not walk away from the bigotry some of them actually believe it's a crime to even give them rights.
