Why Can’t We Talk About the Murder Wave?

So if something is ruled unconstitutional,the government is supposed to keep doing it?

The lawsuit usually has a proposed injunction attached. If the plaintiff wins, the judge will modify as she wants and issue an order. In this case it seems like the only order was for the written policy.

Guess thats why Bloomberg filed an appeal(which was denied) and said he "HOPED"it could continue.

In her 195-page decision, Judge Scheindlin concluded that the stops, which soared in number over the last decade as crime continued to decline, demonstrated a widespread disregard for the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures by the government, as well as the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause.

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg angrily accused the judge of deliberately denying the city “a fair trial” and said the city would file an appeal.

Striking a defiant tone, Mr. Bloomberg said, “You’re not going to see any change in tactics overnight.” He said he hoped the appeal process would allow the current stop-and-frisk practices to continue through the end of his administration because “I wouldn’t want to be responsible for a lot of people dying.”
