Audit failures hide unconstitutional policing

When court‑mandated audits are not performed, patterns of unconstitutional policing can persist unnoticed and unremedied. The NYPD's Community Response Team had more than 2,000 stops that weren't properly reviewed, prompting the federal monitor to warn the true compliance rate is likely worse than reported. — This frames oversight gaps as a root cause that transforms misbehavior into entrenched policy questions about accountability, political support for policing units, and judicial remedies.
