The practice of stopping, interrogating, and frisking individuals without probable cause had been part of the arsenal of local and state law enforcement officers for decades. Reliance on this tactic increased in the late 1960s in reaction to demonstrations over civil rights, the Vietnam War, protests against conditions on college campuses, a rising crime rate, and violent confrontations between police and various self-proclaimed radical groups. States like New York passed statutes explicitly authorizing the police to “stop any person” who is reasonably suspected of engaging or being about to engage in criminal activity and to carry out a search to protect “life or limb.”
