“Well, it got a lot of guns off the streets,” Envy countered. “The way that the NYPD was doing it was unconstitutional. They didn’t do it the way that it was supposed to be done, that’s why they pulled it from New York.”
“They said the NYPD actually didn’t do it right,” Envy interjected again.
“They were stop and frisking anybody and didn’t do areas where there was a lot of crime in those areas. they said that if was done the right way, it probably would be a lot higher.
But they did get a lot of guns off the streets regardless, even if you could say it’s one percent or .1 percent, they got tons of guns off the street, which is the most important thing.”
Charlamagne then read statistics showing that the stops actually resulted in very little convictions for violent crimes.
The law was ruled unconstitutional in New York, because it disproportionately targeted blacks and Latinos at alarming rates. Charlamagne Tha God said that he doesn’t think bringing back the extremely controversial, discriminatory practice is the answer because there’s no proof that the tactic even worked in the first place.
For example, in 2015, according to the New York Civil Liberties Union, 80 percent of people stopped by stop-and-frisk laws were innocent.
And 54 percent of people stopped for stop-and-frisk were black, meaning blacks were disproportionately stopped at a higher rate than their white counterparts.
When you consider that blacks now constitute nearly 1 million of the total 2.3 million incarcerated population, according to the NAACP, stop-and-frisk laws take on a different light, and it’s clear to see how the legislation led to disproportionate incarceration rates.
