Totally agree: Even if it doesn't intentionally target certain demographics, in effect some demographics do get checked more often and you cannot excuse that with "but that lot is more unsafe" unless you back it up with hard data, which I guess doesn't exist.
If somebody is a danger they really should be checked out, and the focus on weed is also probably leading to a lot of bias, driving while drunk/merely not paying any attention whatsoever/with expired license/insurance is probably a lot more common.
