Stop and Frisk

During a “Hannity” town hall set to air Thursday at 10 p.m., Trump encouraged the use of the controversial stop-and-frisk practice in high-crime areas such as Chicago, which Trump said was “worse than some war zones.” Though stop-and-frisk was ruled unconstitutional in Trump’s home state of New York in 2013, he cited his belief that if you “take the gun away, you don’t have anything to shoot with.”

“I think you have to,” Trump said. “We did it in New York, it worked incredibly well and you have to be proactive and, you know, you really help people sort of change their mind automatically, you understand.”

Is there any data to support this? I mean, this idea seems ridiculous to me but, anyway. Thoughts? Concerns?

I'm worried that police have far too much on their plates as it is and this could easily erode existing community outreach efforts. Plus, if you are not committing a crime isn't it against your civil liberties? If you are doing something suspicious, by all means, investigate, but if you are simply hanging around or going hither and yon.... eeeeek.

I am pretty sure it was ruled unconstitutional.
On August 12, 2013, U.S. District Court Judge Shira Scheindlin ruled that the stop and frisk practice was unconstitutional and directed the Police to adopt a written policy to specify where such stops are authorized.

On October 31, 2013, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit blocked the order requiring changes to the New York Police Department's stop-and-frisk program and removed Judge Shira Scheindlin from the case.

On November 9, 2013, the city asked a federal appeals court to vacate Scheindlin's orders.

On November 22, 2013, the federal appellate court rejected the city's motion for a stay of the judge's orders. Although the appellate court rejected the city's motion for a stay, the case still continues.

Do you see any problem with a LEO conducting Field Interviews of individuals in the course of a LEO's normal duties?
Do you think that a "trained" LEO can detect a concealed weapon on a persons body?
Do you think that a LEO can ask a person if they have a permit for the concealed weapon?
If the person says yes do you think the LEO has the legal right to ask to see the permit?
if the person says no do you think the LEO has the legal right to arrest the person for not having a permit for a concealed weapon? (note: only valid in states requiring a permit to carry concealed)

I read "in the course of the LEOs normal duties" to mean he has reason to beleive I am carrying.
Thus the answer is yes.

Do you think that a "trained" LEO can detect a concealed weapon on a persons body?
Under ideal situations, no.
However, when are situations ideal?

Do you think that a LEO can ask a person if they have a permit for the concealed weapon?
Yes

If the person says yes do you think the LEO has the legal right to ask to see the permit?
Yes

if the person says no do you think the LEO has the legal right to arrest the person for not having a permit for a concealed weapon? (note: only valid in states requiring a permit to carry concealed)
yes

We aren't talking about field interviews alone. But to answer your question, if there is reason to suspect, a field interview in the course of normal duties is fine by me. Part of the gig.

They might be able to spot other tells that someone who isn't might miss. Sure, it's possible.
Do you think that a LEO can ask a person if they have a permit for the concealed weapon?
They can ask all they want, but I don't have to show it to them/answer unless I am being detained, in which case they can search me with probable cause.
If the person says yes do you think the LEO has the legal right to ask to see the permit?
Nope, see above. Now, if the officer believes that me having that permit/believes that I am carrying concealed is justifiable grounds to detain me, then we can move to stop two in which, yep. Gotta cough it up.
If the person says no do you think the LEO has the legal right to arrest the person for not having a permit for a concealed weapon? (note: only valid in states requiring a permit to carry concealed)
Yep! Them's the rules.

If I may ask, what state are you in?
Cause the laws are quite different here in Indiana and Michigan

Virginia, I am not sure if I am 100% accurate, to be fair. I am parroting info from a few police buddies and I might be goobering it.

I ask because as far as I know (and I freely admiit I may be wrong) whenever ANY legitimate LEO asks, you are to provide the permit/license.
In fat, I am fairly certain that you are even required to carry the card on your person or you can be arrested and even prosecuted for carrying.

Interesting, you could be spot on. I should probably look into it a bit more. Take my previous post with a grain of salt.

I have not been in Virginia since I obtained my handgun license, so I have not looked up that states laws concerning it.

Found it!

In the instance of a traffic stop, should I advise the police officer that I have a concealed handgun permit?
Virginia law does not require you to notify the officer that you have a permit. However, Section 18.2-308.01, of the Code of Virginia, requires you to be in possession of the permit whenever you are carrying a concealed handgun and to display the permit and a government-issued photo-identification upon demand by a law-enforcement officer.

No wonder you shoot each other so much. Jesus wept.
