They believe that Stop and Frisk policy keeps communities safe and prevents crimes from taking place. But these searches done by police are not just unconstitutional, it is an invasion of privacy. This program is obviously not preventing crimes from happening. Statistics show that this program is ineffective. Based on data provided by NYPD, 179,063 were stopped and searched by police in 2013. Out of those people, 89% were completely innocent. Which means that they have found something on only 11% of the people.

This just proves that theses searches do not effectively find criminals and instead violates the rights of innocent
