Based on what I have read, in practice it turns into racial targeting and blatantly infringes on people's rights.

9 percent of people stopped were white. In New York.
Blacks and latinos formed a combined total of 87% of that year's stops.

And yet, white people seem to carry more illegal drugs or weapons.

 Specifically, the New York Police Department uncovered a weapon in one out of every 49 stops of white New Yorkers, while for Latinos a weapon was found for every 71 stops, and for African Americans that number was 93 stops.



The NYPD uncovered contraband in one out every 43 stops of white New Yorkers. By contrast, it took the Department 57 stops of Latinos and 61 stops of African Americans to uncover contraband.
