David Floyd was the lead plaintiff amongst others, Lalit Clarkson, Deon Dennis, and David Ourlicht in the 2013 New York City Police Department (NYPD) Stop and Frisk lawsuit. Floyd claimed that on February 27, 2008, he was walking on the path nearby to his house in the Bronx, New York. He encountered the basement tenant, also an African–American man, locked out of his apartment.

The first one is that either a crime has been committed or will be committed and the suspect is possibly armed and dangerous.

Judge Wilson had been judging the DNA evidence and had decided that it was inclusive even though the state’s evidence says, although Smith’s fingerprints are not founded on the gun allegedly in his car, it does not prove that he never handled the gun.

The newspaper feels that the term “urban” is frequently used as a racial code word and that Wilson expects a black heroin dealer to carry a firearm. Smith’s history of drug dealing should not be pre-judged by Wilson to make his final decision on the murder case. They say there is a biased ruling in favor that a white police officer who killed a (very likely unarmed) black man and that no justice is served to the victims, their families and any American who is fighting for greater racial equality in the justice system.

News reporters and media outlets frequently paint a picture that portrays the decrease in crime due to an increase in stop-and-frisk procedures.

V. 2010). One stipulation that the courts made was that in order for an officer to stop question and frisk a person that officer needed to have at a minimum reasonable suspicion (DEL CARMEN, R. V. 2010). In 1994 former Mayor Rudy Giuliani hired William J. Bratton for Police Commissioner of New York City.
