How later courts describe this case

  • Court found that a New York State statute prohibiting the hiring of police officers over 29 years of age was rationally related to “ensuring that the police force is physically able and capable of being trained”
  • upholding constitutionality of 29-year-old cutoff for policemen
  • predisposition is a “key consideration”
