You do realize that this ultimately protects Americans?
Been to Newark? I have. Even taking the wife on a date there next Thursday. Newark is the only place around Newark where I, who does not do hookers and blow, know exactly what streets to drive down, to get hookers and blow off the sidewalk, 24x7. What Newark cops do constantly is runs stings on outsiders, to stop them from coming to Newark for hookers and blow. Rolling up on them in marked and unmarked cars, and generally making life hard for them. Along the way, they have established a bad ass rep.
Newark also is one of few towns I know off, where 4 people can get marched out of a bar, and executed on the street, where the public's reaction is, well why were they drinking in that bar. Newark is that bad ass a place. Still.
