  • NYCLU: Stop-and-Frisk Campaign: About the Issue

    jalwhite:

    The NYPD’s stop-and-frisk practices raise serious concerns over racial profiling, illegal stops and privacy rights. The Department’s own reports on its stop-and-frisk activity confirm what many people in communities of color across the city have long known: The police are stopping hundreds of thousands of law abiding New Yorkers every year, and the vast majority are black and Latino.

    An analysis by the NYCLU revealed that innocent New Yorkers have been subjected to police stops and street interrogations more than 4 million times since 2004, and that black and Latino communities continue to be the overwhelming target of these tactics. Nearly nine out of 10 stopped-and-frisked New Yorkers have been completely innocent, according to the NYPD’s own reports:

    • In 2002, New Yorkers were stopped by the police 97,296 times.
      80,176 were totally innocent (82 percent).
    • In 2003, New Yorkers were stopped by the police 160,851 times.
      140,442 were totally innocent (87 percent).
      77,704 were black (54 percent).
      44,581 were Latino (31 percent).
      17,623 were white (12 percent).
      83,499 were aged 14-24 (55 percent).
    • In 2004, New Yorkers were stopped by the police 313,523 times.
      278,933 were totally innocent (89 percent).
      155,033 were black (55 percent).
      89,937 were Latino (32 percent).
      28,913 were white (10 percent).
      152,196 were aged 14-24 (52 percent).
    • In 2005, New Yorkers were stopped by the police 398,191 times.
      352,348 were totally innocent (89 percent).

      115,088 were Latino (32 percent).

      189,854 were aged 14-24 (51 percent).
    • In 2006, New Yorkers were stopped by the police 506,491 times.
      457,163 were totally innocent (90 percent).
      267,468 were black (55 percent).
      147,862 were Latino (31 percent).
      53,500 were white (11 percent).
      247,691 were aged 14-24 (50 percent).
    • In 2007, New Yorkers were stopped by the police 472,096 times.

      474,387 were totally innocent (88 percent).
      275,588 were black (53 percent).
      168,475 were Latino (32 percent).
      57,650 were white (11 percent).
      263,408 were aged 14-24 (49 percent).

      605,328 were totally innocent (88 percent).
      350,743 were black (53 percent).
      223,740 were Latino (34 percent).
      61,805 were white (9 percent).
      341,581 were aged 14-24 (51 percent).
    • In the first three months of 2012, New Yorkers were stopped by the police 203,500 times
      181,457 were totally innocent (89 percent).
      108,097 were black (54 percent).
      69,043 were Latino (33 percent).
      18,387 were white (9 percent).

    white people are not only the majority, they also do and sell the most drugs and commit the most crimes, more likely to have illegal weapons, contraband, etc, etc

    yet the harrassment level (coz thats all stop and frisk is, state sanctioned violent harrassment for the means of fucking w you and finding any ol reason to fill up jails w black and latinos asses).. it never gets above 12% for white folk.

    how

    quaint
