Despite the practice of stop-and-frisk being ruled unconstitutional over a decade ago, a recent report indicates that New York City's NYPD units, namely Neighborhood Safety Teams (NST) and Public Safety Teams (PST), are still employing these controversial methods. The report highlights a staggering racial bias, with 89% of those stopped being Black and Hispanic men. Legal experts argue that the lack of probable cause for many stops raises concerns about police accountability and proper oversight in addressing unlawful practices that continue to harm communities of color.
The NYPD is still engaging in stop-and-frisk practices that disproportionately affect Black and Hispanic men, raising serious concerns about racial bias.
Only about 60% of stops had legal basis, indicating troubling enforcement practices by specialized police units operating under the guise of public safety.
