Trump Wants to Return to Unconstitutional Stop-and-Frisk Policing

 If you think Trump will defend the Constitution consider his recent call for a return to "stop-and-frisk" tactics. This is where police stop and search people on the streets even when there is no evidence a crime has been committed.

Trump specifically referred to the system of "stop-and-frisk" used in New York City which was declared unconstitutional in 2013.

By the way, since "stop-and-frisk" was stopped in New York City the crime rate has continued to drop dramatically.

So ignorant Trump is now advocating an ineffective, discredited, and unconstitutional practice. That's fine if your a celebrity billionaire. Not good at all if you are running for President.

Maybe Trump has never read the 4th amendment that seems to rule out "stop-and-frisk." Please share this with him if you run into him:

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
