Stop-and-Frisk: Preventing Crime and Violence


I think that the stop and frisk law is illegal for it contradicts a person’s civil rights. But this does not mean I necessarily believe that it should be illegal. I personally think that it should be legal because it helps in the prevention of crime and violence. The danger that is seen in our cities today is an unfortunate consequence due to lack of attention on the city’s behalf. If local police were able to do the stop and frisk, they would be paying more attention to the people in the cities and therefore would be able to eliminate crime. By taking the time to stop and frisk someone, the police are eliminating any chance there is for that person to harm another if they do carry a gun.
