I've seen numbers closer to 85%, but we'll go with your 90% and my reply is "Good". That means that 10-15% were not "completely innocent". If the practice is not deemed unconstitutional (I see folks here trying hard to push for that; however, that is not the case) then why does it matter is 99% of the people that are stopped are completely innocent. if it gets 1%.

Now if folks are being stopped without reasonable suspicion then you and others have room to complain about the practice. But I'm not seeing proof of that; you're simply showing that a trained professionals reasonable suspicion didn't panned out enough to facilitate an arrest. Perhaps one day we can have magicians be LEOs that will have 100% success rate on their suspicion.  


If a sudden rash of crimes committed by an extremely handsome man occurred in my area and the cops stopped me to ask a question, I wouldn't blame the cop I'd blame the other extremely handsome man that committed the crime. I do believe I have shared the story about how I was once stopped because of a bank robbery here. I fit the general description and was in the area. Hell I was on a Motorcycle, not sure where they thought I put the loot.
