Often this will be done without arrest if the guy/gal plays the game but if they refuse to help often an arrest is needed. I personally do not have a problem with this. I doubt the police arrest many people for absolutely no reason at all
Hence why I've also said about it being dispropotionate.
If most crimes in the area are due to black people, then you'd expect a high release rate than with other groups, however if the difference between the black release rate and other groups is substantial, that suggests that the police are bringing in loads of extra black people then letting them go.
That should be investigated to find out if it is legitimate or if it is harassment.
