NYPD Still Illegally Stopping New Yorkers 12 Years After Court Ruling, Monitor Finds

Illegal stops, missing paperwork and weak discipline remain widespread despite federal oversight.

one of my fav attorneys sent this link to the group chat.

I remember hearing a lot about this for a while, prob via democracy now etc, but hadn’t thought of it in a minute.

everyone should listen to it & think about what our society is, how easily (in a combined & uneven way, ofc) it could happen to you or someone you love.

NYPD Still Routinely Violating Rights With Its Stop-And-Frisk Program

The NYPD is proving it’s impossible to fix an entity that doesn’t want to improve. It has engaged in more than a decade of straight-up ignoring court-ordered reforms of its stop-and-fri…

After last week's public comment it's clear Seattle city council doesn't listen to public comments at city hall. So I guess the people will have to take a lil road trip to be heard.

Attached: 3 images I'm getting word from activists at City Hall this morning reporting an excessive deployment of police by SPD and the city council. During this morning's city safety council meeting council members held public comment about SOAP/SODA legislation which aims to jail and fine sex workers and homeless people $5k for existing in major parts of town. CM Cathy Moore's loitering laws have caused significant community resistance so council members cut short public comment. #Seattle #SPD #CathyMoore

Right, so where's that leave us, folks who want tax money to maybe help people?

Come on down to the Seattle City Council meeting, Sept 17th, 2024, 2pm! ✨

We're probably gonna be fining homeless people $5k for existing instead of building housing, city council should probably hear from you. 📢

This one seems important, mark your calendar👇🏿

@blujayfox which is hillarious given that these are just "#CivilRightsFreeZones" abused by #cops to commit #StopAndFrisk as well as #RacialProfiling.

  • Carrying a knife without permit is already a felony.

  • Carrying and/or owning a gun without permit (a carrybpermit being basically unobtainable!) is an even more serious felony.

  • Brass knuckles are illegal weapons, so any ownership is also illegal.

  • Any defense spray (i.e. pepper spray) that isn't certified (like CS gel is) is illegal for use against humans even in self-defense...

    • Literally, these signs insult the intellect of everyone...

    Christy Lopez, a fmr #Justice ofcl, said redirecting the focus of the #CivilRights division away from #PoliceAccountability, at a time when #Trump is encouraging the use of #StopAndFrisk & stricter #immigration enforcement, would set #police on a combustible course.

    “Those are #dangerous sentiments to be infusing in police departments,” she said. “And that’s precisely when you need civil rights protections the most.”

    Among the changes #Trump has promoted: allowing the use of #StopAndFrisk to interrogate suspects, rescinding a #Biden admin ban on the transfer of #military equipment to local #police depts, deputizing local officers to enforce #immigration laws, & deploying the #NationalGuard to fight *#crime*.

    …Trump has signaled his intent to curb federal monitoring of #LocalPolice & to withhold #funds from PDs unwilling to employ more confrontational tactics….
