SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — A new ruling by the California Supreme Court may change how police interact with the public.
Community groups say it’s an important step to prevent over-policing.
But some police unions say it’s going to make it harder for police to work effectively.
“I think it’s a very important decision,” says Sujung Kim, a managing attorney at the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office.
She says with this ruling, the Supreme Court of California is finally recognizing instances of over-policing — especially in communities of color.
“For, you know, innocent behavior. For just being in a certain neighborhood and characterized as criminal. The court has finally acknowledged that fact,” Kim said.
On Thursday, the court ruled to restrict the grounds under which police can stop and hold people for questioning. It stems from the case The People vs. Marlon Flores.
good because 90-95% of these DEGENERATES are corrupt in the 1st place. and here is more BS ” California’s politicians and courts are making it harder and harder for police officers to do their job to protect the communities we serve. ” It isnt DEGENERATES jobs to be NOSEY… Same reason they HARASS RSO’s in CA that arent on prob/parole and they come out to see if we live where we say we do, they have NO RIGHT and nothing in the 290 CODE allows them to HOUSE CHECK us. Its called CORRUPTION and a WAY to get $$ from the state/city to RUN thier CORRUPT orginasation.
Same goes with WHY the law changed they cant pull you over in CA and ask “DO YOU KNOW WHY I PULLED YOU OVER”.. If you accidently say speeding that equals ticket equals more money to feed thier CORRUPTION machine.
I went to a retired police officers funeral and at the service one his fellow officers told the story of how he, the deceased, decided who he should approach on the street. He would see a person and ask himself, would I want that person to walk by my wife on the sidewalk? Everyone laughed except me. Disgusted. Trust me, that would definitely be a benchmark for this guy. Got to have the right look or else.
