In Episode 4, David Breaks down the intricacies of the “stop & frisk” law, which stems from the Supreme Court’s ruling in Terry v. Ohio.  Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968), was a decision by the United States Supreme Court which held that the Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures is NOT violated when a police officer stops a suspect on the street and frisks him or her without probable cause to arrest, if the police officer has a reasonable suspicion that the person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime and has a reasonable belief that the person "may be armed and presently dangerous.” ENJOY!
