    - any age male Chinese dressed in mainlander couture
    - younger (15-25) south asian guys


    There are a lot of finer looking (suit, tie, golf shirt etc) people of the subcontinent in Happy Valley. I've never seen any of them or any caucasians ever being stopped. Also, I very rarely see any females being stopped.
    I am mixed 3/4 chinese and my ethnic appearance is ambiguous. I get stopped probably once ever 4 months. Just for the fuck of it I keep telling them "God bless you, you're doing God's work, God bless you, have a blessed day."

    This is not including when I walk through southorn playground at lunch to get from Hennessy to Johnston road. I'd say 1/4 times I walk through there they search my bag probably suspecting I have drugs.

    To them you look dodgy

    What are you wearing?
    Is your hair long?
    What's your skin colour?

    They'll profile you on that

    Do the police have a quota to fill each day?

    We have reasonable suspicions that they do.

    Having said that .. doubt it .. they're just card everyone that fits a profile.
