...The stop and frisk policy was adopted from English law in a number of American courts. In accordance with English common law, without statutory provisions, a police officer has the power to stop, question, and frisk suspects given reasonable circumstances. Based on a standard which holds less than probable cause, this power is granted upon the standard of reasonable suspicion. It is a question of circumstances of each individual case that determines whether reasonable detention and investigation is validated.[7] Legislation pertaining to constitutional requirements of stop and frisk practices were made into an area of concern by the Supreme Court when they encountered the case of Terry v. Ohio. While frisks were arguably illegal, before this point a police officer could only search someone either after arresting them or obtaining a search warrant. In the cases of Terry v. Ohio, Sibron v. New York, and Peters v. New York, the Supreme Court granted limited approval in 1968 to frisks conducted by officers lacking probable cause for an arrest in order to search for weapons if the officer believes the subject to be dangerous. The Court's decision made suspicion of danger to an officer grounds for a "reasonable search".[8] Stop-and-frisk is not necessarily a new invention. In the early 1980s if a police officer had reasonable suspicion of a possible crime, he had the authority to stop someone and ask questions. If, based on the subject’s answers, the suspicion level did not escalate...

...Abstract The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution protects one’s rights against unreasonable searches and seizures. It also states that no warrants shall be issued without probable cause. Probable cause can be defined as a person of reasonable caution who believes that a crime has been committed and the person accused has committed that crime. Modern law has afforded police officers an incentive to respect this amendment, known as the “stop and frisk” act. The Stop and Frisk law allows police officers to stop someone and do a quick search of their outer clothing for weapons: if the officer has a reasonable suspicion that a crime has or is about to take place and the person stopped is armed or dangerous. The reasonable suspicion must be based with specific expressed facts and not on just an officer’s intuition or guess. The Stop and Frisk law balances crime control, protects an individual’s right, and prevents from unreasonable searches. This law is further implemented and proven in the Supreme Court case Terry v. Ohio where it was ruled that the search performed was in fact reasonable under the constitution and the fourth amendment. Introduction The Fourth Amendment states, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place...

...Stop and Frisk The Stop and Frisk program in New York City is a exercise of the New York City Police Department , where police officers would stop and question thousands of walkers annually, and frisk them for weapons and other contraband. The rules for this such actions are found in “New York State Criminal Procedure Law section 140.50”, and are founded on the result of the United States Supreme Court in the case of Terry v. Ohio. Thousands people are stopped each year mostly are Blacks or Latino. Some judges have found that these stops are not based on reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. Each day in New York City, and in many other cities in the country, police officers will stop ask questions, and every now and then frisk people...

...Those officers who don’t take responsible are given a free pass and just say that “I’m doing my job”. The Stop and Frisk should be banned because the police use it as an excuse to stop any minorities. Stop and frisk has become such as important part of police work. This topic is highly controversial on the surface the idea of stop and frisk seems so simple, but the truth is it’s not. what I’m proposing in order to eliminate all of this injustice within the criminal justice system that is directed towards African American and other minorities. The first solution to improving police departments are that they should revise or reevaluate their training exercises to try and avoid situations that involve excessive force. Implement new method into the training sessions and policies. Officers should be reeducated on how to engage with detainees or even citizens who haven’t done anything. Another thing instructors should be chosen and vetted carefully to ensure more effective...

...Scenario: Stop and Frisk Scenario 1: Police receive an anonymous tip that there is a white man, wearing a gray hoodie and black pants standing at the bus stop carrying a gun in his left jacket pocket. Officer Bob responds to the bus stop and observes the man as described. Question 1: Can Officer Bob conduct a stop and frisk based upon the dispatched information? Explain your answer Within the framework of stop and frisk a variety of factors must be assessed. First, does the police officer have a reasonable suspicion the person is going to commit a crime. Second does the police believe the person to have something on their person that would allow them to engage in a crime. In New York for example the stop and frisk rules are a bit lighter than in most states. A police officer in New York stop someone if they believe this person is going to engage in a Penal law misdemeanor (Matthews 2013). In Florida v. J.L the court ruled that if a person is believed to be carrying a gun be it the officer was told or reasonably believes it to be so the officer therefore has a right to search. For the sake of scenario the suspect is said to be carrying a gun from anonymous tip. This dynamic alone based on precedence allows for stop and frisk. So in this scenario the police has...

...In cooperation to the mission of protecting safety of society, police officers actively take an action that is commonly called “stop and frisk”. This allows them to detain the suspicious drivers and pat them down to scrutinize whether they carry illegal contraband or drugs or weapons in their cars. The existence of racial profiling in police’s duty is accused as black drivers and hispanics drivers are more often to be pulled over than that for white drivers. Since blacks and hispanics have committed more crimes, it is reasonable that they become suspects in police’s perspective and comprise the majority of people who are stopped and frisked. In despite of racial controversy regarding “stop and frisk”, this strategy, in fact, brings more positive...

...Stop and frisk should not be legal because it isn't used improperly and it is mostly only used against colored people instead of everyone. It also breaks the 4th and 14th amendment which is really the people's right so, the government should really get rid of stop and frisk because it is doing no good to america. The reason stop and frisk exists is fine but not how they attend to use it. Stop and Frisk gives authorities the rights to search a suspicious person of their choice whenever they want. They are trying to drop crime rates. Stop and Frisk is giving officers a lot of power. There are two sides to stop and frisk but on Joe's side he talks about stop and frisk only targeting colored people from the age of 18-35(Stringer, Scott). So therefor stop and frisk is just being added to something going off of your race.. Innocent people are dying today. Innocent people are dying today. Stop and Frisk is used commonly in New York.

...The lives of the minority especially the Hispanics, African Americans, Asians, etc. “Donald Trump argued Tuesday that the controversial stop-and-frisk policing tactic once employed in New York City is constitutional, adding that it would "overwhelmingly" save African-American and Hispanic lives. The practice, however, has been criticized as racial profiling that unfairly targeted those very minority groups. “Diamond, Jeremy.

...The New York Police Department has been using the “stop and frisk” tactic at an alarming rate. The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution protects against unreasonable searches, and the New York City Police Department’s use of “stop and frisk,” in general, stopped people on the street without any reasonable suspicion that the individual had participated in criminal activity. The New York City Police Department’s policy of implementing “stop and frisk” so broadly violates the Fourth Amendment. The Fourth Amendment protects “the right of the people to be secure in their persons… papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches…” The Federal District Court in Manhattan has since opinioned that the New York City Police Department’s use of “stop and frisk” is in violation of the Constitution. The brief nature of the stop and search of the individuals does not make the process reasonable. The act of stopping a citizen in public and questioning and searching him or her no matter how long or short the engagement constitutes a search and as such requires reasonable suspicion. This interpretation is derived from the clear opinion of the Supreme Court stating that a person’s Fourth Amendment protections are not limited to the confines of one’s house, but can be expected as one walks the street or travels the road. Therefore, it is necessary for the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to affirm the judgment of the district court and guarantee the reformation...

...Stop and Frisk is by no means new to the United States, in fact the original term for it was “Terry Stop”. A "Terry Stop" by definition is the temporary detainment of a person by law enforcement officers based on "reasonable suspicion" that the person may have been engaged in criminal activity, whereas an arrest requires "probable cause" that a suspect committed a criminal offense. The name comes from the standards established in a 1968 case, Terry v. Ohio. The case started from a Cleveland police officer arresting three men based on suspicion. Patrolling the downtown area like he had been for many years, the officer spotted two strangers on a street corner. He saw them walking back and forth in front of a store window. Suspecting the two men...
