Trump wants to dramatically expand "STOP AND FRISK" historically targeting blacks and Hispanics.

Eliot Spitzer wrote a scathing newspaper article about the Bush administration's complicity in the mortgage crisis.

The Bush administration used the expanded power of the Patriot act to set up a surveillance web over all his actions. Then once he moved more than 10K from his bank account, they used a terrorist provision to track where the money went. They discovered it had nothing to do with terrorism. He purchased the services of an escort services, and they exposed him.

The good news is that they removed an asshole from office. The bad news is that they used a legal provision designed to keep us safe from terrorists to selectively hunt political enemies. They didn't use the federal power to fight injustice wherever the evidence lead, they didn't use terrorist legislation to fight terrorism, they used it to hunt and prosecute political opponents. This is what happened in the Soviet Union.

The American Rightwing sees the Spitzer prosecution as a victory, but they never ask a deeper question. Is it a good idea to create national security legislation that is used by the executive to secretly hunt his policy opponents?

Welcome to the Soviet Union where people are destroyed and jailed for writing unfavorable newspaper articles about the supreme leader.

God help us. Trump is Bush on steroids. The jails will be filled with political prisoners.

Remember the millions that had to be paid that were swept up off the streets in New York at the GOP convention?

That's what liberty means to Republicans. Only they are worthy. Only they are deserving. Ergo, unconstitutional voter suppression and mass arrests are OK as long as it's not them.

Ooh, Trump walks it back. He didn't mean the whole country. He only meant black people in Chicago.

It's OK then.

Trump praises 'stop-and-frisk' police tactic

Stop-and-frisk, however, has been the target of protests and successful legal challenges in New York and other big American cities in recent years as a tactic that unfairly singles out minority citizens and violates their civil rights.

Polanco explained in a 2013 Democracy Now interview that 600,000 of the around 700,000 police-initiated stop-and-frisk incidents the previous year would not have occurred but for improper encouragement by the city government, police department, and police union. The quota system, he says, even would result, near the end of a work shift, in some police just arresting “whoever’s at the corner.”

Trump proposes expanding use of stop-and-frisk

---------------------

Stop and Frisk generally means the police can stop and frisk anyone (blacks) and everyone (Hispanics) they want to. It's one way whites can show blacks and Hispanics what they think of them.

Stop and frisk without probable cause is flagrantly Unconstitutional

That's exactly why it was abandoned.

Yes. You know I'm agreeing with you, right?

Right!

Considering recent events, daily carnage in Chicago, and validated success in NY it only stands to reason the time has come to take a proactive stance in combating crime.

As long as you say it's OK for any cop to stop and frisk you for no reason

Stop n frisk expansion is an affront to the constitution.

Constitution shouldn't change because you are in a rich neighborhood.

What in the Constitution prevents it? Guilliano reduced crime by a lot in NYC with it. Now it's back up with the socialist in charge.

Ya know . That whacky "unreasonable search " thing of in the bill o rights . The 4th I believe.

How is it unreasonable if they catch a lot of criminals that way?

noun

1. reasonable grounds (for making a search, pressing a charge, etc.).

Yes, back to the good old days of separate but equal.

Crimes rates are still going down in the Big Apple.

Amazing . Same people who are PRO stop n frisk on the street are the ones who get all freaked out over TSA security at the airport .

Sometimes? When can you stop and frisk someone Constitutionally without probable cause?

And I don't know what you're babbling about with Ice Tea and Hell. You probably don't either
