New York City Civil Rights Violation Attorney
NEW YORK, NY, May 19, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The New York Civil Liberties Union recently released an analysis (5/9/2012) on how often the New York Police Department stops and frisks minorities. The report, an analysis of last year's 685,724 stops, shows just how disproportionately blacks and Hispanics are stopped. It is of great interest to New York civil rights violation lawyers at The Perecman Firm and other defenders of civil rights.

David Perecman, a New York civil rights violation lawyer, and founder of The Perecman Firm, believes the police department is unfairly targeting minorities.
"The report shows a significant gap between the number of African-Americans and Latinos who were stopped and frisked, and whites. Racial profiling is a violation of civil rights," said Perecman, a New York civil rights violation lawyer in New York for over 30 years. "Divisive and discriminatory policing practices have no place in a city as diverse as New York."
Discrimination, racial profiling and bias-motivated harassment are examples of civil rights violations.
A number of New York City officials agree that the NYPD policy "must be retooled," reported The Wall Street Journal (5/9/2012).

According to the NYCLU report, of the stops in 2011, 52.9 percent were of blacks, and 33.7 percent were of Latinos. In other words, 87 percent of those stopped in 2011 were black or Latino. Whites accounted for 9.3 of the stops.
More young black men were stopped by police last year than live in the city, said the report. An astonishing 90 percent of the young black and Latino men stopped by police were innocent, meaning they were neither arrested nor ticketed.
