2AC Racial Profiling Advantage—ImpactsWe have a moral obligation to stop racial profiling- it is dehumanizing and prevents justice from being served. U.S. DOJ 2003 (Department of Justice “Fact Sheet on Racial Profiling” Online http://www.justice.gov/archive/opa/pr/2003/June/racial_profiling_fact_sheet.pdf) Racial profiling sends the dehumanizing message to our citizens that they are judged by the color of their skin and harms the criminal justice system by eviscerating the trust that is necessary if law enforcement is to effectively protect our communities.America Has a Moral Obligation to Prohibit Racial Profiling. Race-based assumptions in law enforcement perpetuate negative racial stereotypes that are harmful to our diverse democracy, and materially impair our efforts to maintain a fair and just society. As Attorney General John Ashcroft said, racial profiling creates a "lose-lose" situation because it destroys the potential for underlying trust that "should support the administration of justice as a societal objective, not just as a law enforcement objective." The Overwhelming Majority of Federal Law Enforcement Officers Perform Their Jobs with Dedication, Fairness and Honor, But Any Instance of Racial Profiling by a Few Damages Our Criminal Justice System. The vast majority of federal law enforcementofficers are hard-working public servants who perform a dangerous job with dedication,fairness and honor. However, when law enforcement practices are perceived to be biased or unfair, the general public, and especially minority communities, are less willing to trust and confide in officers, report crimes, be witnesses at trials, or serve on juries. Racial Profiling Is Discrimination, and It Taints the Entire Criminal Justice System.Racial profiling rests on the erroneous assumption that any particular individual of one race or ethnicity is more likely to engage in misconduct than any particular individual of other races orethnicities. Racial profiling destroys community trust in police, which is essential to public safety. Natarajan 2014 (Ranjana Natarajan for Washington Post “Racial Profiling Has Destroyed Public Trust In Police” Online http://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2014/12/15/racial-profiling-has-destroyed-public-trust-in-police-cops-are-exploiting-our-weak-laws-against-it/) Profiling undermines public safety and strains police-community trust. When law enforcement officers target residents based on race, religion or national origin rather than behavior, crime-fighting is less effective and community distrust of police grows. A study of the Los Angeles Police Departmentshowed that minority communities that had been unfairly targeted in the past continue to experience greater mistrust and fear of police officers. To root out this ineffective tactic that undermines public confidence, we need stronger policies against racial profiling at all levels — from local to federal — as well as more effective training and oversight of police officers, and systems of accountability. 2AC Solvency—FCC GoodThe FCC has technical expertise in regulating telecommunications networks to protect privacy Genachowski 2011 (Julius Genachowski, FCC commissioner. Testimony: INTERNET PRIVACY: THE VIEWS OF THE FTC, THE FCC, AND NTIA JOINT HEARING BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON COMMERCE, MANUFACTURING, AND TRADE AND THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON COMMUNICATIONS AND TECHNOLOGY OF THE COMMITTEE ON ENERGY AND COMMERCE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, 7/14/11. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CHRG-112hhrg72908/pdf/CHRG-112hhrg72908.pdf) Now, technology can and must be part of the solution. I continue to encourage industry to take this very seriously, to use its expertise to empower consumers, provide transparency, and protect data. And as the government’s expert agency on broadband and communications networks with a long history of taking commonsense steps to protect consumer privacy, the FCC has an important role to play going forward. Our network-focused privacy and data security rules are settled and legally tested. FCC Chair Tom Wheeler is willing to defy the interests of the industries the FCC regulates Reardon 2015 (Marguerite Reardon, CNET News reporter, “Net Fix: Why FCC's Wheeler is 'defying the greatest lobbyists in the world', http://www.cnet.com/news/why-fccs-wheeler-is-defying-the-greatest-lobbyists-in-the-world/) Net neutrality advocates, initially wary of Wheeler because of his past association with the industries he regulates, now applaud his leadership. Reed Hastings, CEO of the Netflix video-streaming service, likens Wheeler's stance to the one taken by business mogul Joseph Kennedy Sr. in 1934, when he was tasked with regulating Wall Street for the first time as chairman of the newly formed Securities and Exchange Commission. "Chairman Wheeler is on the edge of making history by defying the greatest lobbyists in the world -- from the telco and cable industry -- to secure an open and fast Internet for all Americans," Hastings said. "You have to go back to Joseph Kennedy Sr. running the SEC to find as surprising and courageous an example of policy leadership given the person's prior background." The once-powerful advocate for the cable and wireless companies has rocked his former employers on their heels. 2AC Answers to: FCC Can’t DecertifyThey have everything they need—corporate lies in emails give FCC ability to decertifyArs Technica, 2014 “New e-mail shows “stingray” maker may have lied to FCC back in 2010,” September 17th, 2014 (http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/09/new-e-mail-shows-stingray-maker-may-have-lied-to-fcc-back-in-2010/) A newly published e-mail from 2010 shows that Harris Corporation, one of the best-known makers of cellular surveillance systems, told the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that its purpose "is only to provide state/local law enforcement officials with authority to utilize this equipment in emergency situations." That e-mail was among 27 pages of e-mails that were part of the company’s application to get FCC authorization to sell the device in the United States. Neither the FCC nor Harris Corporation immediately responded to Ars’ request for comment, and Harris traditionally stays mum on its operations. "We do not comment on solutions we may or may not provide to classified Department of Defense or law enforcement agencies," Jim Burke, a spokesman for Harris, told Ars last month.
Relatively little is known about how stingrays are precisely used by law enforcement agencies nationwide, although documents have surfaced showing how they have been purchased and used in some limited instances. Last year, Ars reported on leaked documents showing the existence of a body-worn stingray. In 2010, Kristin Paget famously demonstrated a homemade device built for just $1,500. Fightin' words In a five-page letter by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, the group indicated that Harris has not been totally honest with the agency as to how the then "Sting Fish," and presumably subsequent devices like the newer StingRay, TriggerFish, and HailStorm, were to be used by American law enforcement. While StingRay is a trademark of Harris, stingray has come to be known as the generic term that describes all such devices. "Contrary to Harris’ claim, we now know—and Harris should have also been well-aware at the time—that state and local law enforcement agencies were using devices in the StingRay line of surveillance products for purposes other than emergency situations long before 2010, and continued to do so after," the letter states. "To the extent the Commission relied on this representation in the authorization and licensing process, its reliance is misplaced since the representation is clearly inaccurate."
