7. Group Discussion: 1.Why are LGBTQ people of color twice as likely to experience police violence? 2.Do you think profiling people based on race/gender makes our communities safer?

8. Between January 2004 and June 2012, the NYPD conducted over 4.4 million Terry stops. 6% of all stops resulted in an arrest, and 6% resulted in a summons. The remaining 88% of the 4.4 million stops resulted in no action.

9. In 52% of the 4.4 million stops, the person stopped was black. In 31% of the stops, the person stopped was Hispanic. In 10% of the stops, the person stopped was white.

10. In 2011, New Yorkers were stopped by the police 685,724 times. 341,581 were aged 14-24 (51%). In a national survey, 56% of respondents indicated LGBTQ youth of color were impacted by criminalization and policing.

11. Have you ever been stopped and/or frisked by the police?

12. GOT LGBTQ RIGHTS? You have a RIGHT to: Be free from unreasonable searches. Be free from unreasonable seizures. Remain silent. An attorney.

13. GOT LGBTQ RIGHTS? In BOSTON, police officers: Must address transgender individuals by their adopted name. Must use appropriate pronouns. Cannot subject transgender individuals to additional invasive search or frisk procedures.

14. GOT LGBTQ RIGHTS? In NEW YORK CITY, Streetwise & Safe joined Communities United for Police Reform, which passed the End Discriminatory Policing Act to: Expand the categories of individuals protected from discrimination. The current prohibition covers race, ethnicity, religion, and national origin. The bill expanded this to also include: age, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, immigration status, disability, and housing status.

15. GOT LGBTQ RIGHTS? In NEW ORLEANS, BreakOUT! members organized to pressure the Police Department to: Issue Policy 402, which mandates that gender identity or sexual orientation can not be used as reasonable suspicion or probable cause to stop, search, or arrest LGBTQ people.

16. GOT LGBTQ RIGHTS? An officer can only stop you when he or she has reasonable suspicion that you have committed, are committing, or are about to commit a crime.

17. GOT LGBTQ RIGHTS? An officer can only frisk you when he or she has a reasonable suspicion that you may be armed and presently dangerous.

18. GOT LGBTQ RIGHTS? Reasonable suspicion means that the officer has sufficient knowledge based on articulable facts to believe that criminal activity is at hand.

19. GOT LGBTQ RIGHTS? “Are you detaining me or am I free to leave?”

20. GOT LGBTQ RIGHTS? An officer can only place you under arrest, search you or your home, or seize your belongings if he or she has probable cause that you have committed a crime.

21. GOT LGBTQ RIGHTS? Probable cause means there is a reasonable basis for believing that a crime may have been committed (for arrest) and that evidence of the crime is present in the place to be searched (for search and seizure).

22. GOT LGBTQ RIGHTS? “I do not consent to searches.” Ask for a warrant. “I’m going to remain silent.” “ I’d like to see an attorney.”
