2013 federal ruling against NYPD's "stop and frisk" program found non-compliant, with ongoing unconstitutional stops and illegal quotas.

The lawsuit claims officers still conduct suspicionless stops and face illegal quotas. A federal monitor found the NYPD non-compliant with court orders aimed at reforming these practices and noted that over a third of street frisks are unconstitutional, with an increase in stops lacking reasonable suspicion since 2020.
