Stop and Frisk Law
Stop and frisk is when police temporarily detain somebody and pat down their outer clothing when there are specific facts leading a police officer to believe a person is armed and dangerous. It is not necessary for the officer to identify a crime they think is being committed, only that a set of circumstances that would lead an officer to have a reasonable suspicion that criminal activity is occurring. The Stop and Frisk law began with former Mayor David Dinkins during 1990-1993. New York was a very dangerous crime infested city that needed change. Dinkins attempted to do this with a 1.8 billion dollar plan to fight fear in New York by hiring 8,000 new officers.
The video talks about how the New York police officers use the Stop and Frisk laws violently and how African Americans and Latinos are 80% of the population that gets searched.
The statistics show how a lot of these categories are kind of vague: furtive movements, suspicious bulges, casing a victim or location (which might as well be "looking at things"), clothes commonly used in a crime, fits a very vague description just to provoke the Stop and Frisk law.
