New York City, rights group seal deal to end stop-and-frisk
BY MARINA LOPES AND JOSEPH AX
NEW YORK Thu Jan 30, 2014 6:08pm EST
(Reuters) - New York City's new mayor on Thursday announced a settlement with a civil liberties group that sued the city over its stop-and-frisk practices, which he fiercely challenged as a candidate, paving the way for court-ordered reforms to take effect.
A federal judge found the New York Police Department practices unconstitutional in August.
Mayor Bill de Blasio's predecessor, Michael Bloomberg, appealed, arguing that the tactic was a key factor in the biggest U.S. city's historic drop in crime.
The agreement will end the lawsuit brought by the Center for Constitutional Rights and will empower a court-appointed monitor to oversee the police department's reform of stop-and-frisk over three years.
