Define and explain the requirements in Terry stops and Terry frisks. How do they differ from a search?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: A good answer should define the basic stop-and-frisk standards of reasonable suspicion and indicate that the independent reasonable suspicion is needed for both the stop and the frisk. A stop means the suspect is not free to leave. A frisk is a limited pat-down of the suspect's outer clothing. A search is a more intrusive invasion of a person's reasonable expectation of privacy that requires probable cause. Students should explain how justifiable frisks can lead to searches especially based on the plain touch doctrine.
