Feminists

Slightly over 5000 of those are female. It's stretching the imagination to say that at any given time there is no female officer available. If there isn't one available, there shouldn't be a frisk. But then again, if there isn't probable cause, there shouldn't be a frisk, no matter the gender. Last time I looked, walking (or sitting or standing etc) was not considered probable cause under the law.

I think the NYPD have overstepped their constitutional bounds here. Again.
