The cost of Judge Scheindlin’s ruling:

Since Manhattan federal Judge Shira Scheindlin ruled the NYPD’s use of stop-and-frisk was unconstitutional three months ago, city cops have made nearly 12 percent fewer gun seizures.

Between Aug. 19 — the start of the first full week since Scheindlin’s ruling — and the latest stats Nov. 3, officers took 634 firearms off the streets compared to 723 during the same period a year ago.

Meanwhile, the number of shootings and shooting victims in the city slightly increased. Shootings jumped 2.3 percent — to 312 incidents — compared with 305 for the same period last year.

There also was a 3.4 percent increase in the number of victims, with 367 people struck by gunfire, as opposed to 355 for the same time period last year.

“Of course, [Scheindlin’s] ruling is responsible for this,’’ a police source griped. “There’s a definite cause and effect here.

Hey, if the President can't be bothered to respect it, why should anybody else?

It's going to be really sad when they decide not to hear it and/or not give her back the case.

Stop and frisk way down in NYC: nyti.ms/1msHz5J

But, it's coming to Washington D.C.:

The Secret Service is considering screening tourists and other visitors at checkpoints before they enter the public areas in front of the White House in response to the episode Friday in which a man with a knife managed to get through the front door of the president’s home after jumping over the fence on Pennsylvania Avenue, according to law enforcement officials.

As part of the screening, the Secret Service would establish several checkpoints a few blocks from the White House, the officials said. The screening would likely be limited to bag checks and not include measures taken at airports by the Transportation Security Administration, which include metal detectors and body scans.

Along with giving Secret Service agents and uniformed Secret Service officers a chance to check for explosives and weapons in bags, the screening would allow them to interact with the visitors and try to identify those who may pose a problem, the officials said.

The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they did not want to be identified discussing a continuing investigation or security measures under consideration.
