A more thorough explanation: Stop-and-frisk is a policing tactic that allows law enforcement officers to stop, question, and pat down individuals on the street whom they suspect may be involved in criminal activity, in order to search for weapons or other contraband. This practice is subject to legal standards and limitations to protect individuals’ rights against unreasonable searches and seizures under the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Example: In certain jurisdictions, police officers are authorized to conduct stop-and-frisk searches when they have reasonable suspicion that an individual may be armed and dangerous.
