Public allowed to sue NYPD cops over stop-and-frisk profiling, state judge rules
City police unions have failed in their attempt to block a local law that makes it easier for the public to sue cops for racial profiling.
State Supreme Court Justice Anil Singh, in a decision released Wednesday, upheld the Community Safety Act passed by the City Council last year.
The Council’s legislation was neither too vague nor was it preempted by state criminal procedure law, as its opponents had charged, Singh ruled.
