The NYPD's stop-and-frisk practices raise serious concerns over racial profiling, illegal stops and privacy rights. The Department's own reports on its stop-and-frisk activity confirm what many people in communities of color across the city have long known: The police are stopping hundreds of thousands of law abiding New Yorkers every year, and the vast majority are black and Latino.

An analysis by the NYCLU revealed that more than 2 million innocent New Yorkers were subjected to police stops and street interrogations from 2004 through 2010, and that black and Latino communities continue to be the overwhelming target of these tactics. Nearly nine out of 10 stopped-and-frisked New Yorkers have been completely innocent, according to the NYPD's own reports:

• In 2004, 315,483 New Yorkers were stopped by the police.
  279,754 were totally innocent (89 percent)
