The NYPD is skulking through the L train demanding IDs from Black and Latino men, again with zero justified cause or explanation as to why.

Just FYI to anyone who is reading this thread: In ALL states, even the ones with stop and ID laws, the cops have to have reasonable, articulable suspicion that you have committed, are commiting, or are about to commit a crime. 4th amendment right, also lots of case law.
True, but they do not need to articulate their suspicion to you. The only person that they need to convince that they did have reasonable articulable suspicion prior to detaining you is the judge.
The system is set up much more in favor of the cops than for you.
Agreed. If a cop wants to cop badly, there’s not much you and I or anyone else can do about it besides speak up and hope they listen. And if they don’t, don’t resist and just sue later.
