Answer to Question 2

Terry stops are legal authority for a law enforcement official to conduct a patdown or search of a person's outer clothing or visual search of a vehicle for contraband. Although the Terry stop is not an arrest, the person is not free to leave; also called a stop-and-frisk. In Minnesota v. Dickerson, the Court held that protective searches are limited in scope to those areas, places, and objects that reasonably may conceal items dangerous to the police. Searches are further limited to those objects, revealed through exterior searches and the sense of touch, that are immediately identifiable as weapons. Items may not be seized (or even revealed) in the absence of specific information leading to a reasonable belief that the suspect object was an identifiable weapon.
