The law/practice at issue in Terry v. Ohio is easily distinguishable from what was/is happening in the Bronx.

Feel free to elaborate.

Feel free to elaborate.

Terry allows for:

1) The stopping of suspects when there is a reasonable, individualized suspicion the person did, is, or will commit a crime and

2) Then allows for limited searching of the same person/people for the purposes of officer safety.

Neither of those two elements appear to be present with what the cops were doing in the Bronx.
