Should we Implement Stop and Frisk? Is it Worth It?

President Donald Trump has supported the implementation of “Stop and Frisk”, especially in certain cities with the highest levels of violent crime. Should this policy be implemented in San Francisco or in your own community? Why or why not?

Discuss the following questions in your analysis:

Is the policy constitutional (is it racial profiling, a violation of equal protection under the 14th amendment, or a violation of the 4th amendment protection against unreasonable searches)?
Will the policy encourage police officers to target people of color unfairly? Can it be implemented in a way that reduces crime, without discrimination?
Has the policy made communities safer in cities where it was implemented? Is there evidence that it might reduce crime in our SF neighborhoods? Is crime reduction a result of other factors?

Use facts and evidence from the sources below to back up your position. Include references for quotes and information in your paper and preview it in vericite to make sure you’ve included all of the correct references. You can also include your own experience, or the life experiences of others, to help illustrate your point.
