Crime rates have soared ? Pre-pandemic NYC had some of historically low crime rates. And it is one of the safest cities in the world https://www1.nyc.gov/site/nypd/news/p0106a/overall-crime-new-york-city-reaches-record-low-2020 https://www1.nyc.gov/site/nypd/news/p0106a/overall-crime-new... And all this without having to stop and search some rando black or brown dude walking down the road. This categorically proves that stop and frisk had no impact on crime rates at all. Los Angeles also experienced similarly historically low crime rates and had no stop and frisk. I can’t imagine how someone can live in a liberal democracy and be ok with authoritarian behavior like stop and search.
