: TalkLeftNY Has Record Number of Stop and Frisks for 2008
By Jeralyn
The Center for Constitutional Rights has conducted a study of stop and frisks in New York for 2008. The findings: 531,000 New Yorkers were stopped and frisked and the numbers show "shocking racial disparities." 80% of those stopped were Black and Latino New Yorkers.
The NYPD is required to keep a database of its stop-and-frisks as a result of CCR’s 1999 racial profiling lawsuit filed in the wake of the Amadou Diallo shooting, Daniels v. City of New York.
Police stops-and-frisks without reasonable suspicion violate the Fourth Amendment, and racial profiling is a violation of fundamental rights and protections of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The full study is here.
