I had to walk home 6 miles in the evening for a period of time and was harassed repeatedly and made to wait while they again "ran my information" to make sure I didn't have a record since last time. Finally I said a bad word while walking away and they arrested me for bad language on the public roadway a charge that is obviously illegal.
I made this argument to a fellow who became a judge when that state didn't require judges to have a high school education who obviously didn't care. Wrote a paper on why you can't do that. They dropped the case for lack of action then re-raised it and denied my appeal after I had left the state. I'm a white dude and I was dressed decently but being on foot at night clearly marked me either as a troublemaker or at best as one of the poor.
