I do not really think the stop and frisk program is a problem, but only if it is used appropriately. I feel that if you have nothing to hide then the idea of being stop and frisked should not be a problem. However I do understand how the program can go beyond what it should be. How do we know that we can trust the police officers to not take advantage of a situation like this?
Another issue with stop and frisk is the fact that it almost seems like racial profiling. This is a very prevalent issue right now that is very hard to deal with. I believe that there is no reason to think that a Black person or a Hispanic person is more likely to have a gun than a White person. This issue hits home with me because my cousin, who does looks Middle Eastern is often stopped at airports and checked. I have had a similar experience too once when I was flying to Florida.
