Well with respect, I
disagree.
I don't get the "even if something works, don't do it" concept.
Like I
posted, S&F is not a ideal law enforcement policy but when you consider how densely populated New York City is & the factors involved; counter-terrorism, crime, gang activity, illegal immigration, etc then it could help expedite these criminal investigations or
prevent crimes.
Like the old saying; "nothing good happens after 1000pm", you can't play Harvard Law Professor or Dr Phil with group of gang members at 200am in a dark alley.
Believe me, those situations are not fun.
