What is the Right to Know Act?

In particular, young Latino and black boys and men, who have done nothing wrong in the vast majority, are also disproportionate targeting, stopping, and waving the NYPD policy. The NYPD report indicated that almost 700,000 stops at their peak in 2011 were recorded. The number of stops was significantly decreased by a complaint by NYCLU and other litigations ( Nguyen, 2019) . While stops are a fraction of their height now, alarming racial differences remain. Additionally, In New York City, the stop and fly law and policy require temporary detention of an individual to decide if anything is illegal. Sometimes, these acts are called "Terry stops." In 1968, the United States Supreme Court ruled those police officers had broad power to carry out frequencies even though a probable cause for arrest did not exist. This ruling concluded that an officer's presumption of danger is appropriate for investigation. While the enforcement of the stop and frequency laws and policy is constituent by courts based on the apparent racial discrimination, the 2017 Right to Know Act passed by the City Council in 2017 still applies ( Nguyen, 2019) . Under this new strategy, a person has to be issued business cards with the name and rank. One must give an objective reason must be given to make a move. However, the policymakers should make positive changes towards that policy. One of the major reasons why changes need to be made towards this policy is the ease of policy misuse. Stop and flip politics encourage follow-up by the police officers instead of providing objective proof or a rational belief that anything illegal might happen. This inconvenience has been attributed in the first instance to the NYC version of that legislation and regulation. Officers spent 83 percent of the time using this option with African Americans and Hispanics, but the two ethnic groups make up only half the local people ( Nguyen, 2019) . This indication means that stop-and-run tactics have a racial profile aspect for them. Instead of evaluating the situation, this result would mean that an environment of fear affects particular racial or ethnic groups. In 2013, a policeman instructed him to enforce this strategy by stopping the right people at the right place concerning male African-Americans aged 14 to 21 years old ( Morrow & Shjarback, 2019) . Besides, stop-and-free legislation is invasive to people's privacy. In case a police officer suspects a person, they have the right to be temporarily detained under a stop-and-take law or regulation. This arrest means that the law enforcement officer is at risk of injury, so they perform a reasonable search to determine if they carry anything that can injure them. The fourth amendment provides people with a right to an unreasonable search or seizure, then with an equal defense in the 14th amendment ( Morrow & Shjarback, 2019) . Officers in NYC were talking to people because they seemed suspicious. Therefore, only 10% of the events have never led to a prosecution that holds for nearly 20 years ( Morrow & Shjarback, 2019) . Lastly, when introduced, the policy seldom meets its promises. The only place where stop and friction policies have seen any action is not in New York City. When officers look for a firearm user, only 2% of all the searches indicate that the number of searches increased by 600% between 2002 and 2011 ( Morrow & Shjarback, 2019) . While this legislation has caused declines in crime, cities such as Los Angeles have decreased by 50 percent by using alternative police procedures that do not violate privacy, such as this rule. The stop and frisk policy is helpful at times. Still, the policy executors have to be careful about handling situations, majorly when dealing with minorities in high crime rate areas.
