NYPD to immediately stop conducting its ‘stop and frisk’ program
After ordering the NYPD to immediately stop conducting its ‘stop and frisk' program outside certain residential buildings on the second Tuesday of this month, this Tuesday, the U.S. District Judge, Shira Scheindlin agreed to lift her order at the request of the NYPD.


On January 8, Scheindlin had ruled that the ‘stop and frisk' searches of NYPD's anti-crime program, also known as “Operation Clean Halls” violated constitutional protections and needed to be stopped with immediate effect.

However, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly criticized the decision in that it “unnecessarily interferes with the Departments efforts to use all of the crime-fighting tools necessary to keep Clean Halls buildings safe and secure.”

The earlier order passed by the federal court had been in response to a law suit filed by a group of black and Latino residents who allege that the NYPD personnel are carrying out a regime of frisk first and develop the suspicion later.

However the federal court has not rescinded the earlier order, but has put a temporary halt to putting it into effect, until she decides on broader remedies and until a trial in a stop and frisk class-action case scheduled March 11, is completed.

The federal judge denied a separate request by the NYPD to delay the trial in the stop-and-frisk class action which alleges that the program is carried out on racial profiling.

In a statement, Heidi Grossman, a spokeswoman for the New York City Law Department said, “We believe the court correctly lifted the immediate relief it had ordered.” The executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, which is representing the plaintiffs said that the judge did not contradict any of her earlier findings “and it may well expedite the final remedy process for dealing with the abuse of stop-and-frisk for all New Yorkers in a more efficient way.”

The case is Ligon et al v City of New York, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, no. 12-2274.
