Federal Judge Allen G Schwartz rules the 'perp walk,' technique used by New York City police to make sure that the press gets close-up pictures of suspected criminals, has 'no legitimate law enforcement objective or justification'; ruling means that John Lauro Jr can proceed with lawsuit against the city; Lauro was an East Side doorman accused of burglary; he was hauled out of a police station in Sept 1995 and walked slowly to squad car and then driven around the block; perp walk seems likely to survive Judge Schwartz's ruling because perpetrators are always going to have to walk somewhere and photographers' job is to wait for the picture; photos of 1962 and 1968 'perp walks' (M)
