Practice question
Officers stop a peaceful traveler solely on an anonymous accusation, open an opaque sack rather than pat outer clothing, and call the operation stop and frisk. They identify no weapon-related facts or other exception. Which is best?
- The name does not cure either the missing genuine basis or the excessive scope
- Every opaque-sack search is a protective outer-clothing frisk
- The tip automatically supplies all constitutional requirements
- A successful discovery retroactively establishes the exception
- All future lawful protective checks are consequently forbidden
