Why am I not surprised that the police would not be credited for their hard work? People against Stop and Frisk keep arguing that it doesn't result in getting results, but this clearly did.

You post the story and didn't even read it? No one was stopped or frisked at any point in it. It's about an undercover operation that been going on for a while.

I most certainly did. Did you? It showed that Stop and Frisk deters crimes from happening that may not always be on the stat sheets.
"One of the two lead gun traffickers, Earl Campbell, preferred to arrange his gun sales near where the bus left him off in the Lower East Side, because he feared transporting them back to Brooklyn.
"I can't take them to my house, to my side of town in Brownsville," he told one of his gun suppliers, according to Kelly. "We got like, whatchamacallit, stop and frisk."
This doesn't make sense. They caught the guy because they were tapping his phone. He mentioned at one point that he didn't want to transport the guns to his home on foot because of stop and frisk. So what? That's not why they caught him. They caught him because he was talking about running guns on the phone.
ALSO, the fact that Bloomberg touts stop and frisk as an all-purpose deterrent is outright admitting that many of the stops are unconstitutional, isn't it? It only works as a deterrent if you can be stopped randomly, for no reason.

It makes perfect sense. It shows that Stop and Frisk has an impact on how criminals are thinking and that they're having second thoughts about carrying out certain crimes. This is why the Stop and Frisk decision must be appealed because it clearly is a deterrent and has had an impact on lowering crime that can't be found on the stat sheets.

Somewhereintime, I want you to think.. that quote was from a recorded phonecall. It's just a comment that fool made to the undercover officer via phone expressing his fear of being stopped. He was already knee deep in **** MONTHS before this and was guaranteed a trip up the river. I just want to know what stop and frisk actually had to do with this bust. No one stopped or frisked at any point in the story. So how could stop and frisk be credited for the bust? Tell me.
