Presidential Candidate wants to take guns away during "Stop and Frisk"

#30

Quote:Cops stopping and searching people without probable cause is a violation of their rights. Unless they are in the act of committing a crime or suspected of having just committed a crime there is no probable cause. Trump is not implying all law enforcement do this everywhere. He is being specific to areas with higher crime rates. So in areas where cops are already distrusted, cops are going to stop anyone for whatever reason they claim to search them. That is a totalitarian police state. That is not a constitutional government where citizens have an expectation of civil rights. Blacks and Hispanics would be specifically targeted. I promise you.
 

I agree that it's a police state, and disapprove of the policy. "Totalitarian" is going way overboard.


But this is local policy, not federal policy. It would make no difference whether Hillary or Trump were to be president.



 

At most the choice of one of the nine ruling elite would make some difference, but as JJ pointed out, it was the liberal Warren court that OK'ed stop and search. A conservative originalist court would not allow it.
