Can a police force stop and search for evidence of criminal conduct under the Fourth Amendment?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Bautista, 684 F.2d 1286 (9th Cir. 1982):
Defendants contend the stop was based on nothing more than the defendants' racial appearance, and that therefore the police did not have the founded suspicion of criminal conduct necessary under the Fourth Amendment to justify the stop. See Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1, 19-22, 30, 88 S.Ct. 1868, 1878-80, 1884, 20 L.Ed.2d 889 (1968). 1
