Terry v. Ohio is a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case that was decided in 1968. As a result of the Terry case, police officers are permitted to stop you on the street and frisk you if they have reasonable suspicion that you are involved in criminal activity. Your host, Cedric Hopkins, breaks down the facts and legal rulings from the Terry case. You'll hear additional examples of cases where courts have decided Terry issues and how those fit into everyday life. Cedric will also explain how the Terry case applies to you today, and how you can best use the law from Terry to protect yourself if a police officer stops you on the street.
