[Correction]

How about a title change folks? Looks like some shit off Alternet.

We know BG hates the pigs but this was justified as far as the evidence shows.

BG NEWS: FAIR AND BALANCED

Someone said you need probable cause for a frisk, you do not, all that is needed for a stop question frisk is reasonable suspicion, that someone is in the act of committing a crime or has committed one. You can search the area if you feel something that could be a knife or a gun for your safety. You can search someone if a crime was committed in the area and they match the discript. You can frisk an area if the person reaches for it in a suspicious manner when approached or being spoken to, or change directions when they notice a police officer.

Frisk and searches are two different things. A frisk is just a patting/ touching of the immediate area of the threat, while a search is when you actually go into pockets or clothing. you cannot search for drugs because they are not a danger to you. Now here is the kicker, if someone commits a violation such as spitting, drinking alcohol in public, or even jay walking technically that person can be searched in lieu of arrest because they can be arrested for the violation even though they are more then likely just going to receive a summons/ticket.

Probable cause is when you are actually making/being arrested, its when there is enough evidence stating you have committed a crime.

Hey, fuck you budday. My family grew up in Flatbush.

[Abandon]

i grew up on rodgers between ave D and clarendon, lol, take it easy

[Callisto]

spitting?

You'd be shocked at the number of cities/towns that still technically have statutes against spitting on public sidewalks and such on the books from a billion years ago.

[GoggleHead]

There really ought to be an effort made to purge old and outdated laws that are no longer relevant.

[dejet]

There kinda is. When something is appealed in the courts.

I know its hardly effective but ya, that is how it is.

[Kuya]

So...cops were in the right?

[Callisto]

of course not, they planted the gun and sprinkled a little crack on the kid's body

[hey]

There kinda is. When something is appealed in the courts.

I know its hardly effective but ya, that is how it is.

There is a way to do it, sure, but no one is actively attempting to do so on a large scale.

[GoggleHead]

It also has to come up in court first for it to be appealed doesn't it?

Because really, how often is there going to be a case about the crime of teaching alligators to tap-dance or whatever weird ass laws are still on the books?

[Esvedium]

not like that so much in new york, that little red spot on his shirt is all the colors he needs

Looks like he got more than a little spot of red on his shirt now.

[Kuya]

of course not, they planted the gun and sprinkled a little crack on the kid's body

so if cops were in the right, why are people rioting?

[Fairy-Killer]

so if cops were in the right, why are people rioting?

Because gangs.

[ronin sparthos]

Because (brown) people generally dont like cops, facts be damned.

[Chamaan]

Because tax returns are going to be extra slim this year and you gotta get a new TV somehow.

"We're mad because cops, and dead black kids, and stuff. Let's destroy that African owned African DVD store."

As a side note: Hallmark African Movies? Like a Spanish Discoteca? Is there some kind of super underground African cinema scene that's so indie that I've never even heard of it? Is it like, just a bunch of copies of Shaft and Nukie? As a film nerd, this intrigues me...
