Stop and frisk had to be stopped because it really did not work and it violated the 4th amendment and was declared unconstitutional. Even with stop and frisk doubt this perp would have been stopped. If they were to use it properly (probable cause) it would be accepted by many but they just haphazardly just stopped people for no reason walking to a ****en subway going to work and if they were stopped and INNOCENT their names went into a database making them appear to be criminals and that database was never cleaned up
Annual Stop-and-Frisk Numbers:
An analysis by the NYCLU revealed that innocent New Yorkers have been subjected to police stops and street interrogations more than 5 million times since 2002, and that Black and Latinx communities continue to be the overwhelming target of these tactics. At the height of stop-and-frisk in 2011 under the Bloomberg administration, over 685,000 people were stopped. Nearly
9 out of 10 stopped-and-frisked New Yorkers have been completely innocent.

NYPD ‘Stop and Frisk’ Declared Unconstitutional
In recent months, Manhattan Federal Court Judge Shira Scheindlin has been at the forefront of the debate on New York City’s ‘Stop and Frisk’ policy, ruling the practice unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure. Judge Scheindlin’s 195 page decision on August 12th found that senior officials in the city and the NYPD were acting purposely indifferent to police officers conducting unconstitutional ‘Stops and Frisks’. She claimed that for much of the last decade, patrol officers had stopped innocent people without any reason to suspect them of wrongdoing. In 2012, 685,000 ‘Stop and Frisks’ were executed with the majority of recipients being Black or Latino. Her ruling established that such practice amounts to "indirect racial profiling" by targeting Blacks and Latino disproportionate to their populations and this results in a violation of the 14th Amendments “Equal Protection Clause”.
