Anne, while you don't seem to consider being stopped by a police officer and put in the back of a squad car and taken someplace to prove your identity being hassled, I certainly would. I'm not saying the officer did anything wrong in this situation as it isn't reported that anything done was against Dylan's will. This isn't a situation you can use to make a broad conclusion from, though. Dylan has a history of this sort of thing as no doubt you noticed when you read the full article. Personally, though, I didn’t really enjoy back when I used to get stopped to verify my identification at least once a week on my way home from work back when I was young and working as a closer at a fast food restaurant. Sure, they always had a reason (burglaries in the area) and I was nothing but polite but yeah, I found it a hassle to have to walk home wearing my uniform so that they’d only question me for 5 minutes instead of 20. I’m white, by the way, so you’re right in noting that profiling isn’t always about race. In my case it’s was because I was 19 and had long hair (something I could change if I wanted to) and they were hoping for an easy pot bust or underage drinking.
