[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stopping and frisking random people is unconstitutional, even if you think its effective. Police are still free to stop and frisk people who they have reasonably articulable suspicion are engaged in criminal activity and carrying a weapon. I don't care about unequal outcomes nearly as much as I care about the constitution.

I also don't really see the connection between that policy and these crimes. A person on their way to a ransack a CVS *might* be carrying a crowbar or something, but most of them are probably just guys walking down the sidewalk without anything particularly incriminating in their pockets. What would you stop them for? What would you find frisking them that made a difference? [/quote]

I don’t know, but look at NY crime before and aster stop and frisk was eliminated. It led to a large decrease in crime.

Also, I hate how third rail it’s become in the last few years to talk about crime statistics. As if it’s better to just sweep uncomfortable topics under the rug and to instead implement limp wristed, but “equitable” justice programs that actually cause more crime. Violence interrupters? Restorative justice? These do nothing to protect people in violent communities. It’s all just lipstick on a pig. We need to be real and just admit we need policing. We should legalize prostitution and decriminalize drugs though. Just fking tax them and take them away from criminal enterprise.[/quote]
