Consent? Cause? Weird.

NYPD "stop and frisk" up to 600,000 last year.

684,330 (potential suspects??) stopped, roughly 342,000 of them frisked/searched, 82,000 of them charged with something... Something being what? Homicide? Burglary? Arson? Assault? Or maybe an unpaid parking ticket perhaps? I wonder if I were walking down the street in NYC if I would be a "potential suspect".
Good job guys, what about the other 260,000 folks who just got their 4th amendment rights stomped all over?

I'll bet if Treo posted that he would be branded as just being "anti-cop".

"Stop and frisk" with no RAS is no different than a DUI roadblock checkpoint.
