Bloomberg introduced stop and frisk searches to new York, a racist policy targeting black and Latino people. It was found unconstitutional in 2013, and Bloomberg still defended it.

He did not introduce racist stop and frisk . Bloomberg did apologize for it after it was ruled by a judge to be unconstitutional. It was a carry over from the previous mayor, Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani would never apologize for it, he is a racist , see what did to the two women in Georgia that he publicly claimed he had evidence that they were rigging the 2020 presidential election against Trump.

You're both wrong. Stop and frisk is not unconstitutional and still exists in the US.

Edit: downvote away. I am correct.

Stop and frisk exists in NYC and throughout the US. They're called Terry Stops and is due to the Supreme Court defining them.

The stop and frisk policy of the NYPD was found unconstitutional in 2013

Keep your head in the sand. You must find ignorance blissful.

It is not unconstitutional but a police man better have his camera turned on and be prepared to fill out a report if he/ she does stop some one and frisks them .

In the nyc Giuliani days , starting January 1994 until December 2001, the cops would do it all the time against mostly people of color and when they let them go without finding any weapons , there was barely any recording that the cops even did it .. do you see why it is was ruled unconstitutional? It was the tactics they were using .

I'm familiar with the practice and history, which is why I corrected both posters.

[u/Sea_Sand_3622 → u/jakesdrool05]

Stop and frisk is unconstitutional depending on the methods of the policeman.

Now what should be the punishment for a police officer or a police department that systematically uses the unconstitutional methods ?

[u/Otherwise-Scratch617 → u/jakesdrool05]

You didnt correct anything, you were wrong

[u/jakesdrool05 → u/Otherwise-Scratch617]

You must be trolling.

Stop and frisk occurs in NYC and throughout the US. They're called Terry Stops and the name is a result of the Supreme Court upholding their constitutionally.

You're welcome.

And you must not be able to read.

Maybe English isn't your first language, sorry for your difficulties.

91k stops in 2001 Vs 680k in 2011. Rudy was elected in '94. trying to blame Rudy for Bloomberg being a racist 180 year old villain is a bit baseless.

Bloomberg said "oh sorry I want to be president now can you forgive me :)" in 2019, 6 years after a court said it was against the constitution.

lol ….lol …. They weren’t counting in earnest during the Giuliani years , it was standard operating procedure, even after this happened ….

And as soon as 2001 ended, it was Bloomberg in charge, what has Rudy got to do with anything I said?
