referred to the case Terry vs Ohio, and the court specified that the officer in the Terry case had motive to believe criminal activity was about to take place. Though, the officer proceeded to search Terry, he only conducted a surface search, as in his hands never stretched inside Terry’s coat. In contrast, the search performed on Dickerson was much more intrusive, and it went beyond a surface touch. Ultimately, the officer had to explore and manipulate the cellophane to conclude it was cocaine.…

Bostick, 501 U.S. 429, 438 (1991), the defendant contended “that no reasonable person would freely consent to a search of luggage that he or she knows contains drugs.” Should there be a presumption of involuntariness when incriminating evidence is readily found pursuant to the “consent” of a person who denies guilt?

This search consists of a quick pat down of the outer clothing. Stop and Frisk started with the Terry vs. Ohio case, in 1976, in which a police officer suspected three men of being…
Stop and Frisk have been in practice in policing for many years now. However, the policy was enacted or better said put into full effect during the Bloomberg era in the New York City area.

But before a police officer proceeds to stop a civilian to stop and frisk them, they must have “reasonable suspicion” meaning that based on their training and experience they should be able to…

If this policy is permitted a lot of innocent people will fall into the category of suspect of being stopped. There should be some responsibility to the public…
