Stop and Frisk can only be done to contents of your computer or cell phone.

It is Unconstitutional in NYC and when the NSA searches your emails.

Waiting for the 2nd ruling to come before celebrating.

The next mayor, lesbian whack job..will uphold this...Ray Kelley will quit..and the NYPD will sadly, deteriorate in its effectiveness. But it will be an interesting scientific experiment. A few years after the new policy goes into effect, you should see the murder/violent crime rate in NYC spike sharply up, and most likely the vats majority of the victims will be young African-American males.

I know little about the particulars of this program. However, I find it hard to think of a scenario where this is constitutional. Unless however, NYC changes this to a national security program then it can through out the constitution...

I thought “stop and frisk” had been rule unconstitutional long ago.

Why not simply place a cop in each home?

That would REALLY have an effect on crime.

Does the Constitution mean anything anymore? It should, especially here.

Bloomberg is having a rough time of it recently.

First, the courts knock down his nannystate Big Gulp ban. Now, it knocks down his "stop and fondle frisk' policy.

That doesn't seem to matter much any more.

Airports = TSA. Now, even train stations are getting TSA-ed.

Give'em an inch and they will try to take over the whole world -- a bit at a time.

Next comes his gun laws. Then we can call it a day.

Summary arrest and body cavity search would probably drop crime rates even more. But that's not the type of country I would want to live in. I don't see how the idea of stopping and frisking people either at random or by profiling had a chance of standing up to even the weakest Constitutional test. This didn't have the excuse of stopping drivers on a government road using a government driver's license like they do for DUI and drug checks.

I agree with the ACLU regarding the NSA snooping and I agree with Sharpton on this issue. Sharpton is still an unmitigated Ahole, but on this issue, he is a blind squirrel.

(I assume you posted that picture to get people to shy away from the issue.)

"Why not simply place a cop in each home? That would REALLY have an effect on crime."

Not to mention all the Union jobs it would create.

The Big Apple is tired of running behind Second City in crime and shootings statistics.

I posted the picture to show people which ethnic group is being disproportionately stopped and frisked.

Actually the real term is — STOP, QUESTION and FRISK.

NYC is probably one of America's safest big cities.
