Sorry, but I’m having difficulty understanding your logic on this. It is well established that I have a right to walk down the street without being randomly harassed by the police unless that have solid reason to believe I committed some crime. How can you justify such a blatant disregard for several constitutional rights for every innocent person who is stopped? Do you also support TSA searches? What if they start setting up on the roadsides and stopping people? I’m not trying to be a smart-ass, I really would like to know the logic behind this manner of thinking because it goes against everything we know as freedom.

The police have limited resources. There's paperwork involved. We vote for these people. They're not going to frisk people for the heck of it. If there are any problems, you can bet that minority populations will be on top of this way before you are. Remember - these things aren't cast in stone. If there are issues, we will put pressure on the relevant politicians. This judicial diktat rams Judge Scheindlin's leftist viewpoints down New Yorker throats.
