This. WTF does profiling have to do with this? Its a pretty obvious issue of RIGHTS. Don't fool yourselves into thinking that NYC suddenly decided to abide by the constitution; this is just another "discrimination case".sad that it seems to be racial profiling that doomed this procedure, rather than simple outright 4th amendment violation.

Why spend all that time trying to prove profiling when instead all they had to do was show that this stop and frisk policy is unconstitutional? And what if the groups that were profiled never came forth? Would stop and frisk continue?There's a fairly simple explanation for the mention of "racial profiling." The majority of people who felt they were being stopped and frisked more often than not belonged to one "racial" group or another. This ruling is about the Constitution and the Judge made that clear in her ruling.
The loser is Bloomberg and his "I can buy anything I want" mind set.
Best regards.
The ruling judge has the same last name as TV Judge Judy. I wonder if they are relatives.
Best regards.

"No one should live in fear of being stopped whenever he leaves his home to go about the activities of daily life," Scheindlin wrote in her opinion.

As a result, officers often frisked young minority men for weapons or searched their pockets for contraband before letting them go, in a violation of the Constitution's Fourth Amendment that protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, the judge said in a 195-page decision.
my shocked face.
really. i'm actually surprised at this. figured they'd be OK with it. there's SOME hope...

A logical response for this would be for the NYPD to continue profiling, but randomly stop people who don't fit the profile - white tourists, finance district workers, etc. I wonder how that will go over.

She noted that about 88 percent of the stops result in the police letting the person go without an arrest or ticket, a percentage so high, she said, that it suggests there was not a credible suspicion to suspect the person of criminality in the first place.
195 pages?! It would have taken me about 3 sentences!
Like it matters
The NYPD will continue to do it, you guys put to much faith in the system
