“Motorists suspected of no wrongdoing can be pulled over and their license searched in a database regardless of whether they are suspected of having done anything wrong, a federal court ruled on Thursday. The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit found no problem with the way the New York City Police Department (NYPD) handled a roadblock that impeded traffic for two hours in the Bronx on October 5, 2010 just before midnight. Each person traveling on the road was stopped and ordered to produce his license which an officer ran through the NYPD ‘Finest’ program that checks with NYSpin (New York Statewide Police Information Network).”
