Wow, you two are wrong on this. Why don’t you google ‘Terry Stops’ and see how these stops are absolutely lawful and have been upheld over the years.

A Terry Stop requires reasonable suspicion. I tend not to give people reason to be suspicious...

There’s nothing reasonably suspicious in taking your garbage to the communal garbage shoot in your PJs. That was an illegal stop unless the guy gave consent to be frisked, or a crime in the area had been called in as having been committed by a dude in PJs.

The vast majority of stop & frisk stops do not involve reasonable suspicion, and are illegal.

I’m wrong he’d end up in jail??

Oh right, unless he was family.

A Terry stop says there has to be a threat of violence. There’s no threat of violence in the vast majority of these cases...there’s just some black guy walking down the street.

If you had to endure that nonsense everyday, you’d be pissed off about it, too.
