Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Courts have generally ruled that frisks cannot be justified based on a suspect's demographic makeup alone, as this would violate principles of equality and non-discrimination. Factors such as a bulge in the pocket, type of criminal activity suspected, and the suspect's movements can be considered reasonable grounds for a frisk if they suggest the possibility of a weapon or illegal items.
