Answer to Question 1

Stop and frisk is applicable to persons in motor vehicles under the same
circumstances as pedestrians. Thus, motorists can be stopped only if there is
reasonable suspicion of possible involvement in an unlawful activity. An example is
an officer stopping an automobile with an expired license plate.

Answer to Question 2

A stop is a temporary detention so that the officer can ask questions. An arrest is
when under all of the circumstances, a reasonable person believes he is not free to
leave. A stop requires reasonable suspicion, while an arrest requires probable
cause. An example of a stop is when an officer approaches a group of people on
the street outside a jewelry store and asks what they are doing. An example of an
arrest is when an officer sees a person running out of a jewelry store, wearing a ski
mask, and hearing someone from the store yelling Stop thief, and the officer
tackles the person in the ski mask.
