New Yorkers said they had been ignored in a stop-and-frisk battle

New York: Eight years after a judge ruled the New York City police violated the constitution by stopping, questioning and raising most black and Hispanic people on the road, people in the community most influenced by their tactics had been closed from the legal process to end it.
Lawyers for the Plaintiff to two landmarks stop landmarks and full demands of words in the newspaper Thursday that community stakeholders have “very little contact” in the last three years with the monitor appointed by the court overseeing reforms and that he was issued did not reflect the experience.
They demand greater input, including the Advisory Board, which consists mostly of advocates of reform and occupants of public housing, the annual community survey and two-year audit of NYPD Stop-and-Frisk and enforcement activities – the results will then be summarized in public reports every six month.
“There is a termination and deviation from this reform process which is run by monitors and affected communities – people who experience patterns of police activities,” Corey Stoughton, a lawyer for the legal aid community, said in an interview.
Monitor, Peter Zimroth, was appointed in 2013 by the District Judge A.S.
Shira Scheindlin after she decided that the tactics of stopping-and-Circle of NYPD were indirect racial profiles that violated the rights of the fourteenth amendments for the same protection.
Scheindlin also ordered what was known as a shared improvement process that was seeking input from more than 2,000 people in the community that was most influenced by the police and the practice of enforcement of violations and violations.
The process, which caused more than a dozen reform proposals, ended in 2018.
Since then, according to lawyers involved in submitting a court on Thursday, Zimroth has excluded the perspective of community members from its semi-annually assessment.
Instead, they said, he rely on NYPD data, statements of police personnel and civil complaints that have been seen by the court as a doubtful measure whether it stops motivated by race.
A message looking for comments left with Zimroth, a legal professor and director of the Central Justice Center in New York University.
A message is also left with NYPD.
The Plaintiff in the demands of stop-and-Frisk held a general meeting Thursday outside the police headquarters to announce the court and demanded the end to stop and violate simultaneously.
They joined the City Public Advocate, Jumane Williams, several members of the City Council and the police reform organization.
The community council proposed in the court Thursday, the submission will consist of seven members, including three who live in public housing and two from the police supervisory organization community united for police reform.
The council, similar to those who oversee police reform in Seattle and Cleveland, will have a major role in forming changes in police discipline, the court paper said.
“If we and other representatives of the affected society are not significantly consulted and involved in monitors that move forward, the monitor will not produce significant changes in non-constitutional stop-and-frisk and discriminate races and ladyda enforcement practices,” Loyda Colfic , , The executive director of the Justice Committee, said in the court declaration.
At its peak, the use of NYPD and Frack stopped resulted in millions of police, which mostly stopped New York and Hispanic.
They dramatically decreased after Scheindlin’s verdict in this case challenged their constitutionality, David Floyd V.
City of New York and Kelton Davis v.
City of New York.
NYPD reported a little more than 9,500 stop-and-fricks last year, down from around 684,000 in 2011.
There were around 13,500 stops in 2019.
However, activists said, the police stopped continuously non-white.
“We haven’t seen the changes we expected,” Sala Cyril, Timah Organizer with Malcolm X grassroots movement, said in the court declaration.
“People in the community are definitely still stopped illegally.”
