At anytime, for maybe just a hunch, an NYPD Officer was able to detain and search someone. Is this smart policing? Mayor Bloomberg has stated numerous times, the Stop and Frisk Act has had the largest impact on the decrease in violence. Now let me ask you this, if you happened to be in Huntington Beach for PGF, would it be acceptable to you if a HB peace officer detained you and searched your belonings in front of your family and friends? I think not.
Stop and frisk was never reviewed by the Supreme Court, the local judge that had ruled against it was overturned. Her finding anyway was that the practice itself was ok, the execution appeared to skewed racially. The deblasio/ bratton admin are doing a softer gentler version, we'll see the effects
Btw, I would never be at the Huntington Beach PGF- dd is a senior in college
