39. Plaintiff’s Third Report to Court and Monitor on Stop and Frisk Practices at 9, Bailey v. City of Philadelphia, No. 10-cv-5952 (E.D. Pa. Mar. 19, 2013) (indicating, that in the first half of 2012, Philadelphia police made 215,000 stops, and recovered contraband of any kind in 1.57 percent of stops and guns in 0.16 percent of stops, only three weapons total); ACLU of Massachusetts, Black Brown and Targeted (2014), 1–2, https://aclum.org/app/uploads/2015/06/reports-black-brown-and-targeted.pdf (study of Boston stop-and-frisk analyzing over 200,000 encounters between 2007 and 2010; only 2.5 percent resulted in seizure of contraband); Ian Ayres and Jonathan Borowsky, A Study of Racially Disparate Outcomes in the Los Angeles Police Department (2008), i, http://islandia.law.yale.edu/ayres/Ayres%20LAPD%20Report.pdf (reporting that stopped blacks were 127 percent more likely to be frisked than stopped whites, but were 42.3 percent less likely to be found with a weapon after they were frisked, 25 percent less likely to be found with drugs, and 33 percent less likely to be found with other contraband, and reporting similar findings for Hispanics).

43. See Goluboff, Vagrant Nation, supra note 17, at 186–88 (noting that conventional wisdom says Terry was a response to the end of vagrancy laws, but arguing that vagrancy laws actually continued past the 1960s); David A. Harris, “Factors for Reasonable Suspicion: When Black and Poor Means Stopped and Frisked,” Ind. L.J. 69 (1994): 659, 683 (suggesting that of the justices then on the Court, only Justice Scalia would be amenable to a return to pre-Terry law); David A. Harris, “Frisking Every Suspect: The Withering of Terry,” U.C. Davis L. Rev. 28 (1994): 39–40 (explaining that the doctrine is more likely to go the other direction, i.e., that the limits Terry placed on automatic frisking will likely soon be dispensed with); Terry, 392 U.S. at 10 (“[I]t is frequently argued that in dealing with the rapidly unfolding and often dangerous situations on city streets the police are in need of an escalating set of flexible responses, graduated in relation to the amount of information they possess.”); Jeffrey Fagan and Amanda Geller, “Following the Script: Narratives of Suspicion in Terry Stops in Street Policing,” U. Chi. L. Rev. 82 (2015): 51 (surveying studies of police officer behavior in the 1960s and 1970s); Craig S. Lerner, “Reasonable Suspicion and Mere Hunches,” Vand. L.

44. Terry, 392 U.S. at 14, 20 (acknowledging that the law “is powerless to deter invasions of other constitutionally guaranteed rights where the police either have no interest in prosecuting or are willing to forgo successful prosecution in the interest of serving some other goal”); see also Harris, “Frisking Every Suspect,” supra note 36, at 13–14 (arguing that Terry was a practical concession to give power back to the police as a compromise after Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643, 655 (1961), which extended the Fourth Amendment’s exclusionary rule—“all evidence obtained by an unconstitutional search and seizure [i]s inadmissible”—to the states).
45. See Sherry Colb, “The Qualitative Dimension of Fourth Amendment Reasonableness,” Colum. L. Rev. 98 (1998): 1691–93 (contending that fidelity to Terry would cabin permissible stops to the originally announced rationale of preventing crime and protecting police in dangerous situations and rejecting expansion to completed felonies or trivial offenses); David Keenan and Tina M. Thomas, Note, “An Offense-Severity Model for Stop-and-Frisks,” Yale L.J. 123 (2014): 1452–53 (suggesting that Terry stops for petty offenses should be presumptively invalid); Harris, “Frisking Every Suspect,” supra note 36, at 48–49 (proposing that Terry be limited to situations where the suspected crime involves the use of force, violence, or weapons); Memorandum Submitting Consensus Seattle Police Department Policies and Order Approving Same at 3–5, United States v. City of Seattle, No. C12-1282JLR (W.D. Wash., Jan. 17, 2014), www.justice.gov/crt/about/spl/documents/spd_docket118.pdf (approving a consent decree, following a DOJ investigation, under which police cannot stop and frisk on reasonable suspicion of a misdemeanor unless there is reason to believe the suspect poses a public safety risk and must also keep detailed records, including demographic information, about each stop); Commonwealth v.

City of Newark, No. 16-cv-01731 (D.N.J. May. 5, 2016), www.justice.gov/opa/file/836901/download (providing that Newark police must collect and analyze “the age, race, ethnicity, gender, location, time of day, reason for stop, post-stop activity, duration, and result or outcome of each encounter”); David A. Harris, “How Accountability-Based Policing Can Reinforce—or Replace—the Fourth Amendment Exclusionary Rule,” Ohio St. J. Crim.

According to one study, 90 percent of Americans support the use of body cameras, and President Obama recently designated $74 million to the cause. Justin T. Ready and Jacob T. N. Young, “A Tale of Two Cities,” Slate, Dec. 10, 2014, www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2014/12/police_body_cams_won_t_help_unless_they_come_with_the_right_policies.html. Cameras are not an antidote to bad police behavior, as countless YouTube videos are testament, but they do facilitate data collection and resolve factual disputes when officer conduct is challenged. See id.; David A. Harris, “Picture This: Body-Worn Video Devices (Head Cams) as Tools for Ensuring Fourth Amendment Compliance by Police,” Tex. Tech L. Rev. 43 (2010): 369–70 (discussing how cameras improve officer behavior).

49. Terry, 392 U.S. at 22. Applying strict scrutiny to investigations rooted in a suspect description or profile including a suspect classification would address this concern as it would require officers to explain precisely why the classification is relevant. Cf. Brown v. City of Oneonta, 235 F.3d 769, 774, 777 (2d Cir. 2000) (Walker, J., concurring in denial of rehearing en banc) (explaining that if equal protection doctrine were extended to policing, “[o]fficers would be forced to justify” their “non-articulable hunches,… intuition, and sense impressions,” but finding such an approach “unworkable”).
