Judge won’t delay effects of stop-frisk rulings
The New York judge who ordered reforms to the police department’s stop-and-frisk strategy has refused to delay them pending appeal.
Judge Shira Scheindlin in Manhattan said Tuesday that granting the city’s request would send the wrong signal.
She said a decrease in the number of stops from their peak in 2011 to today is already due in part to her orders over the past several years.
