Trump says stop and frisk "was meant for problems like Chicago"

Speaking before the International Association of Chiefs of Police on Monday, President Trump said that stop and frisk "works" and "was meant for problems like Chicago."

Why it matters: Stop and frisk was popularly known as an NYPD policy of temporarily detaining, questioning and possibly searching pedestrians if officers have "reasonable suspicion" of a potential crime. It was ruled unconstitutional in 2013 by a district judge who claimed the policy violates the Fourteenth Amendment's promise of equal protection, as research shows minorities are stopped at a far higher rate than whites.
