The issue in the present case is whether Officer Simon had reasonable suspicion to justify pulling the defendant over? Stops by the police are referred to as a “Terry stop.” Terry v. Ohio. Thus, “police may make a brief investigatory stop if they have reasonable suspicion that criminal activity may be afoot.” See Terry v. Ohio. See also State v. Montel. The stop by Officer Simson was not justified because he had no reasonable suspicion to pull over the defendant. Reasonable suspicion, if received

Similar to a “Terry Frisk” (commonly referred to as a “pat-down” or “frisk search”) a protective search is conducted for officer safety. The same requirement of reasonable suspicion is necessary to perform a protective search (Hall, 2014). In other words, the officer needs to be able to convey a reason, based on articulable facts, why a protective search was conducted (Hall, 2014). These searches are to ensure potentially, ill intentioned people that may be hidden in the area cannot harm officers

Chapter 8 is titled "Stops and Frisks." A stop involves the temporary detention and questioning of an individual that is based on a standard of reasonable suspicion. A frisk is a search that has certain limitations and is carried out for the protection of officers who are carrying out an investigation or who have stopped an individual who may be dangerous. The criterion for seizures and stops include: (1) The "Free-to-Leave" Test, (2) The "Free to Decline Requests or Terminate Encounter" Test

Terry v. Ohio was a pivotal case for the Fourth Amendment and for the citizens of the United States of America. As referenced by the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio, in nineteen sixty three an off duty detective in Cleveland, Ohio stopped and frisked two African American men and one white man based on a ‘reasonable suspicion that the men were about to commit a crime’ (ACLUOhio, 2014). The ruling of this case has set in motion the gross abuse of stop and frisks in minority communities and among

Stop and frisk has two components that define the stop element as well as the frisk element. The stop element is defined as when a law enforcement officer briefly detains an individual, and the officer has reasonable suspicion to believe a crime has occurred, is occurring, or is about to occur, and ask questions of the individual regarding a preliminary investigation and excludes the requirement of probable cause (Bethel, 2015). Furthermore, the frisk element may be conducted if the officer has reasonable

In the first presidential debate, one of the many issues touched upon was stop-and-frisk. This policing method used throughout the 2000s by New York City mayors was the subject of an intense exchange between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. However, neither candidate had any specifics on the topic (a disappointing trend throughout the night), leaving the American people in the dark. Well, prepare for the lightbulb to be switched on as I enlighten you on stop-and-frisk. Trump is the one who originally

“No, I won´t let another person die. That is the last word I´m going to say”, said the president to the press. As he left the room, people started asking more questions. The president of U.S. was going to his house to spend some time with his son, Joseph, he was a 15 year-old guy that he was always angry with his father Jim, the president, because he was never around, and who raised him was his aunt, because his father was always working. In the president way, he crossed into a desert, and shortly

The School-to-Prison Pipeline is a “national trend wherein children are funneled out of public schools and into the juvenile and criminal justice systems” (“School-to-Prison Pipeline”). This phenomenon brings children into the juvenile justice system at a very young age. An article published in the journal Urban Education explains that, “The school-to-prison pipeline contributes to the atmosphere of increased surveillance of schools including police presence in schools, zero-tolerance policies, physical

words”…upon probable cause…”(642). That gives necessary action to perform such searches and seizures. In the case Terry v. Ohio, John W. Terry was convicted of carrying a concealed weapon. Terry was therefore sentenced one to thee years in the penitentiary, which were the statutorily prescribed terms. The case brought up some questions as to whether the circumstances violated Terry and Chilton’s Fourth Amendment. At about two thirty in the afternoon on October 31, 1963, a detective with the

McFadden walked up to the men, identified himself as a police officer, and asked for their names. He asked the first man, Terry to turn around. He frisked him, and, feeling a pistol frame inside Terry 's overcoat, ordered the men into the store. Terry and Chilton were charged with possession of a concealed weapon, and were each sentenced to three-years in prison. The arrest of Terry set in motion a series of lower court cases that ultimately led to the landmark Supreme Court case that addressed the Fourth
