“New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Monday said he would appeal a federal judge’s ruling that the police department’s ‘stop and frisk’ crime-fighting tactics violate constitutional rights. Bloomberg remained firm in his argument that the practice drove down the city’s crime rate, saying, ‘The possibility of being stopped acts as a vital deterrent.’ His administration plans to ask for a stay of the judge’s order until the appeal is heard, officials told a press conference.”
