There is something called drug courior(sp?) profiling. Basically a cop can stop and question you based on this. He can also "stop and Frisk" as above mentioned with any reasonable suspicion. There is something called the "plain feel" exception as well. If he searches you and can plainly feel a weapon or drug paraphanellia(sp?) your busted. There are a few more exceptions, but i dont want to go get my Law binder out of my car( my school offers a law class). This is all 4th amendment stuff.

Not all cops are evil. ALthought the ones who are only there because they got picked on in highschool and it makes them feel powerfull tend to be.
There is a "small person" who works at the movie theater here who is just plain mean. Always yelling and making a big deal about the stupist things, getting people kicked out for nothing. Just a mean person, makes you want to pick him up and throw him.

Ok, studying for my criminal justice test tommorrow I found this, righ out of the book.
The U.S. Supream Court has appreciated the fact that the police operate in an enviroment that can be life threatening. Thus the polic are allowed to take certain reasoable precautions in dealing with the public. In the course of taking reasoable precautions, such as frisking, or patting-down a detainee suspected of carrying a weapon, if the police find incriminating evidence, such evidence is admissible in criminal court. Tee doctine govering the search of persons without probably cause, but with reasoable suspicion is called the pat-down doctine and has its orogins in Terry v. OhioComment
