Answer to Question 1

Answer: The Court held that a police officer may temporarily detain a person for questioning if the officer has a
reasonable suspicion that criminal activity may be involved. The officer may pat down the person for
weapons only if the officer has the additional reasonable suspicion that the pat down is necessary for
safety reasons. If, during the pat-down for weapons, the officer feels a weapon on the individual, the
officer then has probable cause to conduct a complete search.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: In a 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court held that police cannot use drug-sniffing dogs outside of a
home to detect illegal drugs inside unless officers have a warrant (Florida v. Jardines, 133 S.Ct. 1409
(2013)).
