Discussion Question:

Does the Terry stop and frisk ruling give police too much ability to stop and detain and intrude on American Citizens privacy and freedom? Does it it allow police and the state to base this on any actions they perceive as evasive or suspicious such as looking nervous or not answering questions? The founding fathers did not give the state this power without ‘probable cause. Would they have wanted the state to grow and grow in its power of the citizenry? Explain.(Terry v. Ohio Casebrief)
