RE: Why is stop and frisk a good thing?

Well, apparently it has been responsible for the dramatic drop in crime in NYC. Crime rates are at its lowest since the 1960’s and NYC is arguably one of the safest big cities in the world.

And since NYC’s gun laws are one of the strictest in the the nation, the only way the cops will compensate for this is to stop and frisk ( by the hundreds of thousands mind you ).

The thing that most people complain about is this — Cops tend to stop and frisk BLACKS and Hispanics at a disproportional rate compared to Whites and Asians.

Don’t get caught with even a pen knife in NYC.

So that makes gross violations of the 4th and 5th Amendments OK?

There is no doubt a sensitive, progressive liberal judge who happens to live in a very safe area will find this policing technique unconstitutional. Murders, muggings, drug trafficking, child and spousal abuse will of coarse soar in minority neighborhoods and their terrible economies will become worse. Of course the judge will enjoy the adulation he receives at the next cocktail party he attends.

Its unconstitutional.

Know what else the cops do?
It’s illegal to walk from train car to train car. They wait off to the side to grab people. I have seen with my own eyes the racial profiling that goes on there.
You see it comes with a $75.00 ticket and guess what? They never ever stop a black. Not ever. I would bet money they’re told not to.
They profile in everything they do and it’s 100% wrong.

Crime rates have been trending downward across the U.S. for decades.

This question is not whether Stop and Frisk is effective or not or unconstitutional or not. (Of course its effective and, of course, its totally unconstitutional.)

The question should be: Do we want to live among people that are unwilling or unable to act civilized in a free country and so dangerous and disruptive that we must abandon the Constitution to maintain a semblance of order.
