Cities seek magic bullets to deter terror in St Louis
Police knock on doors to obtain consent to search in hopes of removing guns from youths and reducing violence. The program spreads to other cities as officials push aggressive policing while critics warn of civil liberties concerns and a lack of solid evidence. Researchers note the uncertain long term impact and call for studies to prove effectiveness.

Tough cops patrol St Louis streets on gun and drug search
In a night shift by Mobile Reserve officers, John Stan sky and Maurice Jackson comb desolate blocks of St Louis, stopping cars and peering under dashboards. They seize several firearms from a warehouse watchman, a drug den, and a 17 year old with a 22 revolver, while a 11 year old reportedly has a gun at home. The officers pressure a mother to sign a consent form but she refuses, insisting her son is not armed.
