I would like to hear more about how it might blow up in his face. I still have my theories, but so far, I am looking at several scenarios. While there are many who aren't for the S&F policy, there are just enough who will remain silent or who tolerate such madness.
What would "national policy" mean? The Supreme Court has essentially set the boundaries of all local policies--is he proposing to override the Supreme Court?
Localities have reasons and areas where they want to practice stop and frisk. Who would be doing the stop and frisk by "national policy?" Is Trump proposing to override their jurisdictional prerogatives and direct local police agencies of when and were to stop and frisk?
Or is the President planning to put federal police forces everywhere in the nation to implement a national stop and frisk policy?
And if he did that, would the basis for stopping and frisking by federal police be federal law or state law? The feds already expect local police to enforce federal law--are they going to return the favor?

When it happened in NYC few complained. As I recall it was pretty popular.

There's no way a nationwide S&F policy will be allowed to happen (mainly because I think Trump isn't that stupid, nor would anyone on his team let it happen)...
But if it did happen, I believe it would cause mass hysteria. We would probably have literal riots over it. Trump would get sued by dozens (perhaps hundreds) of people and groups. The Supreme court would have to get involved, and it would likely rule the law unconstitutional.
But, like I said, I don't think even Trump is this stupid.
Slavery wasn't popular with the slaves, either. Slave owners sure loved it, though!
There is a thing called the tyranny of the majority, and this is a perfect example of it. Just because the majority favor some unconstitutional thing, that doesn't somehow make that thing all of a sudden constitutional.

The argument you are making is people would riot. I am showing that people did not riot but actually supported it where it was used.
So what makes you think people would riot when they did not when it was implemented?

If it were implemented nationwide, it would cause hysteria. And because of everything Trump has tried to do (see: Muslim ban (I mean "ban")), this would cause protests, and likely riots.
And it would be a MUCH bigger deal because it would affect so many US citizens (not just people trying to get into the country or people with valid green cards/visas).
