Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A Terry stop allows for a brief, on-the-spot stop and frisk if there is reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, but moving a person to another location, such as police headquarters, for questioning without arrest typically exceeds the scope of what is permissible under Terry v. Ohio and requires either probable cause for arrest or voluntary consent.
