Gov. Paterson Deletes NYPD “Stop-And-Frisk” Database
From NYDailyNews.com:
Gov. Paterson Friday signed into law the controversial stop and frisk legislation that forces the NYPD to delete the names of people questioned – but not arrested – from its electronic database.
More than 2.5 million such encounters have been logged into the database since 2004, with police calling it a vital tool in fighting crime.
But critics have long contended it’s an assault on a generation of minorities.
“Not every police procedure contributes to the lowering of crime,” Paterson said. “This procedure is a prime example of that.”
