Do you support 'Stop and Frisk' as a policy for reducing crime?

Isn't that what we do at the airports? One is at an airport and the other is in a high-crime area.
That's a very interesting point I hadn't thought about before. What makes airports so special, vs. high-crime areas? Higher potential death toll, but lower probability of an incident.

Flying isn't voluntary if you want to maintain long-distance relationships with family & friends, or pursue education & a career.

Everyone gets searched at the airport. Mostly black folks get stopped & frisked.

DUI stops are a better example IMO.

An airport is a state boarder crossing. Checkpoints at boarder crossing roads wouldn't be as much of a violation as cops trolling the streets.

All travelers are screened at the airport - I think the main issue with stop and frisk is it was only applied in high crime neighborhoods, since these neighborhoods tend to skew minority for complex historical reasons you end primarily frisking only minority groups.

This is bad particularly when enforcing things like marijuana laws that everyone ignores since you end up targeting minority groups in a feedback loop and causing a lot of damage that gets reinforced in the data (more arrests -> higher crime area -> more stop and frisk).
