Brown v. City of Oneonta was a case brought to the U.S District Court for the Northern District of New York in 1993 and later appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in 1999 that concerned the use of race in law enforcement investigations. Residents of Oneonta, New York who were questioned in an effort by local law enforcement to question every Black resident of the town in a criminal investigation filed a class-action lawsuit against the city alleging that the action was unconstitutional. The court dismissed the claims holding that the police may question members of a specific minority group based on a witness' physical description. The ruling has been criticized as upholding racial profiling in law enforcement.
