Picture this: You've just made a purchase at Barneys — that silver-buckled Ferragamo belt you've been eyeing for a while — when undercover cops approach you, saying your debit card isn't real. They arrest you, detain you, and accuse you of a crime you didn't commit, asking questions such as "How could you afford a belt like this?" and "Where did you get this money from?"

Sounds ridiculous, right? Well, that's exactly what happened [1] to black college student Trayon Christian back in 2013, causing him to file and now settle a lawsuit against the store [2], claiming his civil rights were violated. Barneys is set to pay Christian $45,000, which is a somewhat small price to pay considering his whole (and no doubt traumatic) experience. The store also agreed to pay $525,000 in fines back in 2014, promising to hire an antiprofiling consultant and retrain its employees.
