In United States v. Sharpe, the defendant questioned whether his 30 to 40 minute detention was too long to be considered a Terry stop and really amounted to the functional equivalent of an arrest. In addressing the 30 to 40 minute detention, the Court:
a. Ruled in favor of the defendant, holding that the detention exceeded the recognized length of time established for a Terry stop and amounted to arrest
b. Ruled in favor of the defendant, holding that the initial stop of Sharpe lacked reasonable suspicion and therefore was illegal, even under Terry
c. Ruled against the defendant, holding that a lengthy stop was the product of delay caused by the defendant and not because of the actions of the police officer
d. Ruled against the defendant, holding that the length of time for the stop fell well below the established time limit for a Terry stop
c. Ruled against the defendant, holding that a lengthy stop was the product of delay caused by the defendant and not because of the actions of the police officer
