(Before It's News)

MANHATTAN (CN) – The New York City Police Department cannot keep tabs on more than 360,000 people entered into a stop-and-frisk database for subsequent investigation, a state appeals court ruled.
NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly says that the personal information on people whom officers detain as part of the controversial stop-and-frisk program “remains there indefinitely, for use in future investigations.”
But the New York Civil Liberties Union helped two implicated citizens strike back with a 2010 class action
Lead plaintiff Clive Lino was 29 years old and worked at a student residential facility in Harlem when police stopped him getting out of his car in the Bronx. Officers issued two summonses, both of which were dismissed.
Daryl Khan, the other named plaintiff, was a 35-year-old freelance journalist living in Clinton Hill who was pulled while he riding his bike. His two summonses were also dismissed.
Lino and Khan say that their inclusion in the database turned a criminal accusation into the basis for permanent suspicion, violating their civil rights and municipal law.
A New York County Supreme Court judge booted the suit in 2011, finding no proof that the database injured those whose names it stores.
