STOP & FRISK

[HairOfTheDog]

It surprises me that you would have no problem walking in your own community, doing nothing wrong, and getting stopped and frisked without cause, Maggot.

If there was a riot or a bombing in my neighborhood I would be pissed if they didn't stop me or anyone else running from it or even being around it. In a neighborhood riddled with crime it should be the status quo.

Well, there would be probable cause to stop people running from a riot or a bombing, so that's not the issue.

In neighborhood's riddled with crime, Stop and Frisk is already in place. Only now, police officers are required to document their probable cause and thus the number of people being searched has greatly declined. I don't have a problem with that. I have a problem with the previous Stop & Frisk policies in NYC, L.A. and other major cities where officers used the policy to stop and frisk people (the vast majority being minorities who were doing nothing suspicious), hoping to find something, anything, so they could meet their arrest quotas and generate revenue for the city. Those fishing expeditions were unconstitutional.

Anyway, if you think people living in areas riddled with crime should be searched unconstitutionally (based only on where they happen to live), you better hope that areas riddled with white dudes who bury guns in the ground in case they need to use them against the government, like to smoke weed even though it's illegal in their state, benefit from public works and government services but resent paying taxes and all that jazz, don't end up on the profile list if such a policy is implemented nationwide. I think you might mind more than you think.
