That isn't the reason why they're getting arrested though.

So what's the reason? elaborate.
Stop-and-frisk encounters down 50%, but minorities still stopped more, stats show | Newsday

The NYPD data, which is routinely reported to the City Council, has shown that the percentage of blacks and Hispanics subjected to stop-and-frisk encounters has declined slightly, but last quarter amounted to 81.5 percent: 51.7 percent of stops were blacks and 29.7 percent were Hispanics. The percentage of whites stopped was 12.1 percent, Asians 4.4 percent with other ethnic groups making up the remainder.

If you are trying to say just because there are more crimes in the area that people should be randomly stopped more then that's a horrible argument. Stop and risk is ineffective. All it does is pad the numbers for the amount of arrests that cops pull in for minor things like public urination, littering, etc.
