floyd vs. city

Data released by the department on Friday shows that the officers recorded 13,459 stops in 2019, a 22 percent uptick from the previous year.

On Monday, Judge Shira Scheindlin made the landmark ruling that stop-and-frisk is unconstitutional, citing the violation of the fourth and fourteenth amendment. Today, the city plans to appeal her decision, marking the first blow in what promises to be a lengthy legal battle over the city's most prominent policing tactic.
