Couldn’t that have been due to policies that were implemented other than police stopping and searching people arbitrarily ? Which is certainly unconsitutional no matter how you slice it.
I guess that was my main question about it is whether it is Constitutional or violates “unreasonable search and seizures.”
The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects personal privacy, and every citizen’s right to be free from unreasonable government intrusion into their persons, homes, businesses, and property — whether through police stops of citizens on the street, arrests, or searches of homes and businesses.
Gangbangers, MS13, illegal aliens and other criminals don’t have any rights to privacy if it is reasonable to think they’re walking around strapped.
If police have an objective belief based on personal knowledge or probable cause, the ACLU can pound sand. This is what police should be doing.
Those of us non-felons with CCPs, speaking for myself I don’t care if criminals are disarmed: like locks that keep honest people honest, maybe we wouldn’t have to carry if we weren’t concerned about armed scumbags.
Stop and frisk worked in NYC. We should be sending shock police with full body armor on flying raids into Chicago’s south side for random checks. That is, if BLM wasn’t just noise and anyone really cared about black lives.
