Trump calls for nationwide 'stop-and-frisk' policy

Source: Politico

Donald Trump on Wednesday called for the controversial “stop-and-frisk” policing practice to be instituted nationwide as a means of combating violent crime in America’s inner cities.

In a pre-taped interview on Fox News scheduled to air Wednesday night, Trump was asked by an audience member what he would do to address “violence in the black community” and “black-on-black crime.” Trump responded by proposing that “stop-and-frisk” policing, in which an officer is empowered to stop an individual and frisk them for weapons or any other illegal contraband, be adopted nationwide.

“I would do stop-and-frisk. I think you have to. We did it in New York, it worked incredibly well and you have to be proactive and, you know, you really help people sort of change their mind automatically,” Trump told the questioner. “You understand, you have to have, in my opinion, I see what’s going on here, I see what’s going on in Chicago, I think stop-and-frisk. In New York City it was so incredible, the way it worked. Now, we had a very good mayor, but New York City was incredible, the way that worked, so I think that could be one step you could do.”

The practice, carried out most famously in New York but also by other police departments, is frequently criticized as an avenue for officers commit acts of racial profiling. Others tout it as responsible for a dramatic drop in New York City’s crime rate, although former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton said in 2015 that the practice is “not a significant factor in the crime rate of this city.”

His supporters will be all for it because we all know Trump doesn't want to stop and frisk older white people. They'll be the ones doing the stopping and frisking.

I know no one cares anymore, but:

Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

"... an officer is empowered to stop an individual and frisk them for weapons or any other illegal contraband..."

Why should the police need to look for something to which we all have a right? Orr ..... does he now believe weapons are or should be illegal? Wonder what the NRA would think of that.

in their eyes, carrying a gun while white is okay. Carrying while black- that's a whole other kettle of fish.

And the civil forfeiture that would result would be an example of it being used for it's original intent.

...that these same fuckers are fighting for 'conceal and carry' everywhere and fighting tooth and nail against any restrictions to buying a gun and yet they think they can solve crime by frisking everyone?? So it's really let any white person carry guns without speedbumps and pat down any black people you see...
