In the years since U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin issued her landmark ruling, stops by the NYPD—which were disproportionately performed in the Big Apple’s community’s of color—have fallen dramatically from a high point of more than 685,000 in 2011 to about 15,100 in 2022, according to data compiled by the New York City Liberties Union.
Scheindlin was in attendance at a Jan. 30 event hosted by the City University of New York School of Law to mark the 10-year anniversary of her ruling in the class action lawsuit Floyd v. City of New York.
