NYPD Stop-and-Frisk Activity on the Rise
So-called
‘stop-and-frisk’ activity is on the rise, according to numbers released
by city police, who this year recorded the highest-ever number of
quarterly stops in which people were questioned and sometimes frisked.
From January 1
until March 31, New York Police Department officers filed 183,326 “stop,
question and frisk” reports, a number that is up sharply over the same
period a year earlier and the highest number recorded since the city
began publicly releasing information on stop-and-frisk activity in 2004.
The previous quarterly high was in the first quarter of 2009, when
officers recorded 171,094 stops.
The NYPD’s stop-and-frisk policy has come under fire from civil rights advocates because a small percentage of stops have led to charges. Data on stops show that blacks are disproportionately stopped by police.

As much as I like my civil liberties.
I feel this might be good policy given that blacks and Latinoscommits most of the crimes in NYC.
They are overwhelming overrepresented in the NY corrections system.
Now if they were doing this in a low crime area then that is foul.
