No it shouldn't. But in many instances it does. Look up racial profiling.

You're right, it shouldn't affect it, but the reality is that it's something most people are not conscious of and can't adequately control it like you suggest.

That's like saying you shouldn't listened to a band because the lead singer is an alcoholic. |

that's completely irrelevant. a band doesn't have the power to arrest you, harm you, murder you etc. like a police officer does. your comparison is weak. oh and nor does some random guy on a forum. again, it matters with cops because they have POWER.
