What factors must be considered when determining whether an individual's presence in a high crime area is enough to justify a frisk?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. St. Onge, A146468 (Cal. App. 2017):
On the other hand, Medina acknowledged that, even though an individual's presence in a high crime area is not, without more, enough to justify a frisk, it is one appropriate consideration in assessing reasonable suspicion. (Medina, supra, 110 Cal.App.4th at pp. 177-178; see People v. Souza (1994) 9 Cal.4th 224, 240.) Also pertinent is the time of day or night. (Medina, supra, at p. 177.)
