A police policy in the Big Apple that ensares tens of thousands of people for cannabis possession has been deemed unconstitutional by a federal district judge, Reuters reports.
US District Judge Shira Scheindlin ruled Monday that New York’s notorious stop-and-frisk policy constitutes “indirect racial profiling.”
“No one should live in fear of being stopped whenever he leaves his home to go about the activities of daily life,” Scheindlin wrote in her opinion.
