High-ranking cop testifies he set monthly quotas at Brooklyn precinct

A high-ranking cop testified Friday he set monthly quotas for summonses, arrests and stop and frisks to combat crime while running a Brooklyn precinct.
"I set a standard that said do your job or suffer the consequences," said Deputy Chief Michael Marino, on the stand in Manhattan Federal Court for a class-action lawsuit challenging the NYPD's controversial stop-and frisk tactics as racial profiling..
A state arbitrator ruled in 2006 that Marino's quotas in the 75th Precinct in East New York violated state labor law and ordered them to end.
Judge Shira Scheindlin has been asked to rule on the constitutionality of the practice and could order changes if the city fails to convince her the stops were not illegal.

contrary to the 4th and 5th Amendments are not doing their job and should suffer the consequences.

When they knowingly violate the Civil Rights Act, they should be prosecuted.
