Stop and Frisk, Stopped?

Federal Judge Shira Scheindlin recently ruled that the ‘stop-and-frisk’ practices of the New York Police Department violated the Constitutional Rights of tens of thousand of New Yorkers.

Still, according to published reports, New York’s Mayor Bloomberg said, “This is a very dangerous decision made by a judge who I think does not understand how policing works.”

Is stop-and-frisk a necessary legitimate police policy, or an unconstitutional racial profiling tactic.
