The suit, filed against the city, the†Fire and Police Commission and Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn,†claims police routinely pull people over and stop them on the street without cause, demanding identification and searching them or their vehicles. Such stops are a violation of the fourth amendment, which requires police to have ìreasonable suspicion" that the person is dangerous†or has committed a crime, the suit says. - Photo by Mike De Sisti / Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
