- A court-appointed federal monitor has reported that New York City's use of stop and frisk to combat gun violence is harming communities of color and violating the law.
- The Neighborhood Safety Teams deployed to seize guns in high-crime areas are engaging in unconstitutional policing by stopping and frisking too many people without justification.
- Of the people stopped by the teams, 97% are Black or Hispanic, and only 41% of stops in one precinct were lawful. The city has said it will strive to do better.
