Explain the differences between an arrest and a Terry stop

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Probable cause v. reasonable suspicion; formal arrest requires a warrant and a Terry stop does not. In an
arrest, the suspect is required to hear notice that they are arrested; in a Terry stop they are not. An arrest
is not associated with a time limit and a Terry stop is only a limited detention. A full body search
accompanies an arrest but only the outer clothing pat down accompanies a Terry stop.
