A police state in New York makes life difficult. This ruling balances thing just a little bot:
Bronx Residents Accosted by NYPD Win Landmark Court Ruling Deeming "Stop and Frisk" Tactic Illegal
Police respond: "This will cost lives!"

Well, **** ** **, then.
Bronx Residents Accosted by NYPD Win Landmark Court Ruling Deeming "Stop and Frisk" Tactic Illegal
A federal judge has ruled that New York City police are not allowed to routinely stop pedestrians outside of private residential buildings in the Bronx. The stops are part of the so-called Clean Halls program, which has prompted allegations of police harassment by some residents who say they are being accosted outside of the buildings in which they live. Previous data on the New York Police Department’s "stop-and-frisk" policy has shown African-American and Latino men make up a hugely disproportionate share of those stopped.

Stop-And-Frisk: Ray Kelly Warns NYC Mayoral Candidates That End To NYPD Program Will Cost Lives
— Police Commissioner Ray Kelly had ominous words for any mayoral contender looking to change the city's most controversial crime-fighting tactics.
Ending stop-and-frisk or dismantling the city's expansive counter-terrorism efforts would put the city at risk, Kelly said during a rare interview Thursday night at the 92nd Street Y.
“The things that we’re doing here are working and I would hate to see them change significantly," said Kelly, warning that, "People will die as a result."
Well, **** ** **, then.
