IMO, the intended message of that report-cover graph was that officer time was being wasted,
and made it too easy to assume marijuana possession cases were the only purpose.
There are other effects and implications to the "stop and frisk" initiative
... some positive and some negative.
The long term implications for someone found guilty of "possession"
are far out of proportion to the seriousness of their "crime".
At the same time, the"tan skin" profiling found up to now
in the "stop and frisk" has serious implications for civil rights.
