This is surreal. Is there no due process? Couldn’t someone go to court over this and above the police?

- woodruffw 3y agoYep, it is surreal. It’s one of the many ways in which the NYPD communicates its utter lack of respect for the city it’s meant to protect. I’m not aware of a court case that has tried to fight this, probably in part because of procedural challenges (the NYPD spans 5 boroughs with 5 different court systems, standing is unclear, etc.). Unfortunately, the city’s courts probably just aren’t equipped to handle this kind of en masse, “mild” collective punishment by law enforcement itself.
