Stop-and-Frisk Policy Review According to the Washington Post article “Here’s what you need to know about stop and frisk — and why the courts shut it down” by Dylan Matthews, Stop and Frisk is “an NYPD policy wherein police will detain and question pedestrians, and potentially search them, if they have a reasonable suspicion that the pedestrian in question committed, is committing, or is about to commit a felony or a Penal Law misdemeanor” (Matthews).
