Police 'Stop And Frisk' Coming Under Fire

The city police department's stop and search policies are coming under fire from a civil liberties group.

The ACLU is calling on the city police department to more carefully monitor so called stop and frisk tactics.

The group has accused police of failing to keep track of how officers do their job.

The ACLU obtained search and arrest figures from the department under the Freedom of Information Act and found that last year there were more than 123,000 instances of people being stopped and searched.

I don't like or agree with everything the ACLU does myself, but, that is to be expected when they fight for EVERYBODY'S rights, not just the ones we approve of or like. Even yours.
