U.S. District Court Judge Shira Scheindlin said she was not putting an end to the policy, but rather was reforming it. She did not give many specifics on how that would work but instead named an independent monitor who would develop reforms to policies, training, supervision, monitoring and discipline. She also ordered that officers test out body-worn cameras in the police precinct where most stops occurred.
"The city's highest officials have turned a blind eye to the evidence that officers are conducting stops in a racially discriminatory manner," she wrote. "In their zeal to defend a policy that they believe to be effective, they have willfully ignored overwhelming proof that the policy of targeting `the right people' is racially discriminatory."

yea baby! cant detain you unless there is obvious suspicion you did a crime.
That judge is a moron.
Not "obvious". "Reasonable" BIG difference
Now we have a new meaning for the word "discriminatory." lie often enough and people will believe it. The more ridiculous it is the more likely it is to be accepted. That was Hitler's primary strategy.
The judge, knowing that stopping innocent citizens(read that again) to see IF they are committing any crime, is a HUGE violation of the 4th Amendment. And she ruled it UNConstitutional. But, still being a lackey and rubberstamp of the armed and dangerous police state, she didn't STOP it --- sort of like telling a bank robber that he is wrong and should try to just make legal withdrawals. Try. Americans better start getting used to spot checks, warrantless searches, and Nazi "checkpoints". You cheered when it was just young kids and blacks. Now its coming to a neighborhood. YOUR neighborhood. Keep cheering, you lemmings.
know your rights and tell them to go to hell!
Hope the judge is the first one to get victimized ....moron.
A good lawman understand and knows the definition of the Terry Stop and Frisk. Used correctly it prevents criminal acts. Keep throwing out the tools of the trade and crime will climb.
9:36..."knowing your rights and telling them to go to hell" will only end up with you in handcuffs, maybe beaten (to show you who is REALLY the boss), arrested (for "obstruction of justice"?!, or "interfering with a police officer, or "failure to obey"), and a night in jail. You could be shot. Think this is only going to be used in big cities? Give it a few years -- the latest and greatest boogeyman will force the police to stop and frisk EVERYONE at ANYTIME. I suggest you "comply". Don't mention the Constitution, either. THAT will really piss them off....
