The Obama administration has issued guidelines that ban federal law enforcement agencies from profiling on the basis of religion, national origin and other characteristics, which the justice department hopes could be a model the rest of the US as the country tackles questions about the role race plays in policing.
The policy, which replaces decade-old guidelines established under the Bush administration, will also require federal agencies to provide training and to collect data on complaints.
Civil rights advocates said they welcomed the broader protections, but were disappointed that the guidelines will exempt security screening in airports and border checkpoints and won’t be binding on local and state police agencies.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
