Stop and Frisk Returns to New York
- A federal appeals court Thursday blocked a ruling curtailing the New York Police Department's "stop-and-frisk" program, an order that could rattle the New York City political landscape and reverberate in law-enforcement agencies nationwide.
The Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 3-0 order, halted a U.S. District Court ruling that ordered a monitor to oversee the stop-and-frisk policy and alter a related training program. The city had appealed the ruling and asked the circuit court to stay any immediate effects of the lower-court ruling pending the appeal.
Under the stop-and-frisk program, the NYPD routinely stopped passersby, especially in high-crime neighborhoods, to pat them down for weapons even when there was limited reason to suspect wrongdoing. The technique has been criticized for disproportionately targeting blacks and Hispanics in poor areas.
In practical terms, Thursday's order means the NYPD can continue the stop-and-frisk practice until the higher court rules on the appeal.
In an unusual move, the court also offered a withering assessment of the judge who gave the ruling—U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin—and removed her from the case, saying she ran afoul of U.S. judges' code of conduct. The appeals court wrote that her appearance of impartiality had been "compromised."
Newsflash - this particular judge never had an appearance of "impartiality." The 3-0 vote and the removal from the case pretty much verified she was way out of line. Should be an interesting few months in New York with the mayoral election coming up shortly.

Guess what a-holes, I'm stopped and checked at every airport for no reason and I understand why. If you live in a shit-hole area where the problem is, you should expect to be stopped. If you're legit you'd understand why, but then again if you didn't have time to be "hangin out" you'd never have contact with police to begin with.
Judge Judy's sister-in-law, perhaps? Obnoxious insanity seems to run in that family.
New Yorkers are about to elect a new mayor. One that is decidedly anti-crime fighting, and is anti stop and frisk. Crime by minorities will be ignored, excused, and tolerated. Crime wise, happy days are returning to NYC.
Good news for the NYPD and for the police in general. And Law Abiding citizens -- even liberal Moonbats but they're too stoo-pid to realize it.
However it should be no surprise that this Moonbat broad ...oops...'judge', Shira Scheindlin, was overturned. A quick review of her bio on wiki and one can see she is overturned on a fairly regular basis; She's a one person 9th 'Cicrus' Court of Appeals when it comes to incorrect rulings.
But her getting a boot from the case is huge news, that just doesn't happen. I *think* that may be due to her comment that 'Stop (question) and Frisk' was blatantly unconstitutional -- which flies in the face of the Supreme Court's existing ruling, that it is constitutional. And it ain't nice to disrespect the Supreme Court, its kind of a no-no as far as Fed judges go.
Go get the bad guys Police, but please stay safe.
(Thanks for everything you do)
ah yes, was thinking of reading the district court opinion out of curiosity... then found out it was 198 pages long. I figure if you cannot express your thoughts in 197 pages then ... fuck it
the case is Floyd v. City of NY
The new judge does not appear to be much better.

When Chicago numbers start rolling into NYC, the folks there will start screaming to high heaven. they have three newspapers who are not beholden to the Mayor.

Rudy Giuliani: Bill de Blasio Should Apologize To NYPD For "Libelous" Racial Profiling Accusations
Just as I figured. A rogue leftist federal judge with an agenda prohibited a perfectly constitutional
procedure.
And you remember how the dolts in the mainstream media were unable to see this?
Terry v Ohio?????
Look up a picture of the judge. Fright night.
I'm surprised that Bloomberg that ultra liberal would be in favor of such practices. Of all people you would think that he would be absolutely appalled by stop and frisk.
a good copper can find a probable cause to stop and investigate,,,,it is being able to fully articulate that probable cause that makes the stop legal.
This stay will be only temporary. Both of the remaining candidates for mayor are flaming left wingers and they have promised all stop and frisk will end for the NYPD.

Couldn't have said it any better myself
Profiling and frisk/search is good common sense policy in the violent cities of America. The left will never understand that because they lack common sense!
Michael Sweig

SCOTUS already ruled S&F unconstitutional. Terry v. Ohio

Not accurate but I know what you're trying to say. Sometimes the guys with histories are much easier to deal with than the jags with no record.
NYC is not going back.
They'll just call it something else, that's the absolute worst case scenario. The body count may have to spike for a quarter at most.
Instead of bitching about Liberals and making the mistake of listening to what they say, you should imitate what they actually DO .
It's their own version of the Sundowner laws, with a compassionate, caring face.
Is Shira Scheindlen related to Judge Judy (Scheindlen)?

You don't need probable cause for stop and frisk, only reasonable suspicion. If you have probable cause, you can arrest!

It's called "reasonable suspicion" Mr. good cop. Probable cause is for arrests. Guess you have never testified in a preliminary hearing to determin if there will be a finding of "probable cause" or not. It's basic law you should have learned in the academy.
And after the recent comments about how they'll never work again in new yoek, who the fuck is gonna pro police when no one has their backs
