100 BLACKS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT SAYS NYPD'S STOP & FRISK CARD IS GARBAGE!

The NYPD's stop-and-frisk pilot program is "garbage policy" that allows police to keep personal information of innocent people, a law enforcement group said Wednesday.

The group 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care said the NYPD collects personal data during stops and stores it in a database - even from pedestrians who are never arrested.

"This is Big Brother at its worst," said Marquez Claxton, co-founder of the group.

The NYPD last month began handing out informational cards in sections of Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx to people they stop, question and frisk. The palm cards explain common reasons for stops.

But Claxton the cards alone are useless.

"That card is not worth the paper it's printed on," he said at a news conference at Police Headquarters.

The group said the NYPD should give pedestrians a "receipt" when they are stopped, notify them when their information is stored and purge the record from the database if they're not charged.

The NYPD declined comment.

Claxton took a shot at the City Council, too, saying members are rubbing elbows with the NYPD instead of getting answers on stop-and-frisks.

"It's time to put up or shut up," he said. "The people in the city deserve better."

Peter Vallone Jr., chairman of the Council's Public Safety committee, said he requested information about the log of names from the NYPD. He added that his committee repeatedly presses the department on all matters, including its stop-and-frisk policies.

"This Police Department is under more oversight than any police department in the world," he said. "And we have more oversight hearings than probably any committee ... anywhere."
