Officers will only be able to detain someone if they have a reasonable suspicion that a crime is about to or has already been committed.
Officers will only be able to detain someone if they have a reasonable suspicion that a crime is about to or has already been committed, according to the settlement. The settlement essentially removes a method officers have used to catch violent offenders, which involved running warrant checks after they were stopped for lesser violations. Critics argue that the tactic was the latest example of the department conducting unwanted searches and seizures.
The New York City Law Department said the agreement was limited to the five plaintiffs in the lawsuit and “does not indicate a broad issue.” “The NYPD is committed to upholding the constitutional rights of individuals, and has agreed to clarify existing policy to make it clear when officers can run a warrant query during a detainment,” the Law Department said in a statement.
