NYTimes.com: Kelly Reacts After Stop-and-Frisk Ruling:

A day after a federal judge issued a ruling fiercely criticizing the New York Police Department’s stop-and-frisk tactics, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly unveiled new measures on Thursday intended to reduce the frequency of illegitimate stops.

The measures, which were outlined in a three-page letter sent to the City Council speaker, Christine C. Quinn, include a re-emphasis on an existing departmental order banning racial profiling. The order is to be incorporated in routine training sessions for officers beginning next month.

Eight factors of reasonable suspicion cited by the government were individually quite weak but collectively were reasonable suspicion. United States v. Stepp, 2012 U.S. App. LEXIS 9883, 2012 FED App. 0140P (6th Cir. May 17, 2012).*

“While the totality of the circumstances may include innocent activity, the innocent factors must collectively eliminate ‘a substantial portion of innocent travelers before the requirement of reasonable suspicion will be satisfied,’ as Defendant's actions do. United States v. Foreman, 369 F.3d 776, 781 (4th Cir. 2004).” United States v. Stacks, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 67422 (W.D. N.C. May 14, 2012).*

There was [clearly] probable cause for a search warrant for defendant’s house when the police were able to credibly link him to a bank robbery. United States v. Allen, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 68902 (W.D. Mo. April 24, 2012).*

41(g) motion for return of property is denied because the government doesn’t have the property. Also, the claimant has an adequate remedy under state law for the same thing. Bennett v. United States, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 68298 (N.D. W.Va. April 13, 2012), adopted 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 67925 (N.D. W.Va. May 16, 2012).*
