Intimidation tactic sparks protest at NYPD power
The NYPD allows peaceful protesters to be jailed overnight for alleged offenses, a practice critics call an intimidation tactic aimed at stifling dissent. Law experts say the policy, rooted in 1999 after Amadou Diallo protests, tightens arrest procedures and conflicts with First Amendment rights. The NYCLU filed a federal lawsuit last Wednesday, urging removal of the measure.
