ACLU, Help! Wesley Snipes is profiling me!

Hey, isn't racial profiling wrong and/or against the law?

OCALA - Lawyers for actor Wesley Snipes are seeking statistical demographic data about federal juries in Marion County in advance of Snipes' expected January trial on tax evasion charges.

The move comes on the heels of a motion Snipes lawyer Robert Bernhoft filed Nov. 5 that claims the Ocala area is "a hotbed of Klan activity," and too racist for Snipes to get a fair trial.

Snipes is charged with one count of conspiracy to defraud and one count of aiding and abetting the making of a false and fraudulent claim as part of a tax fraud scheme.

Robert Barnes, a member of Snipes' Milwaukee-based legal team, said the team is looking for any evidence of discrepancies in local jury pools between white and minority community members such as blacks and Hispanics. Unlike Florida juries, which come from driver license records, federal juries can come from voter registration records. Minorities can often be underrepresented in such records, Barnes said.

Where the hell are the ACLU shysters when you need them?
