The New York City Police Department failed to discipline officers for violating the rights of citizens during controversial “stop-and-frisk” encounters, according to a review ordered by a federal judge.
While the city’s police department has made efforts to investigate internal officer misconduct, it has failed to discipline officers found liable in violating people’s civil rights, the report said.
Stop and frisks are when police briefly detain and search citizens without probable cause. The policing policy was found unconstitutional during a 2013 federal trial after evidence found Black and Hispanic people were the most frequent targets of the practice.
The 503-page report, meant to provide oversight on NYPD’s compliance with the law, was written by James Yates, a retired New York State judge, and filed to a court docket on Monday by federal judge Analisa Torres.
