The NYPD has been pulling over livery cabs and detail-searching the passengers. By "detail-searching", I mean a search that is almost as intrusive as a strip-search.
The NYPD has a long and sordid history of pushing the bounds of what is permissible, from mass arrests of people within a quarter-mile of a protest and racially profiling to shooting people under very questionable circumstances. It's no surprise that the NYPD would take a program to check on the safety of cabbies and use it to rummage through the pockets of passengers with darkish skins.
