    1. Terry v. Ohio June 1968 Tim Werbrich Bayard Intermediate

    2. Just the Facts, Ma’am! Terry and 2 others observed “casing” a job Officer stopped and frisked them Found guns on 2 of the 3 Terry convicted of carrying a concealed weapon Sentenced to 3 years in jail

    3. What’s going on? Was search and seizure of Terry and others in violation of 4th amendment? NO!!!!!! Searches designed for officer’s safety—looking for weapons Now known as a “Terry Search” or a “Stop and Frisk” are legal

    4. I wanna argue that! Did the officer have a right to frisk Terry? YES Did officer “seize” Terry under 4th amendment? YES Did officer have cause to believe Terry may cause him harm? YES Was the search reasonable? YES

    5. Is this your final answer? I agree with the Court I would have decided the same way The decision meant Terry did the time. Also meant society is safer from bad guys! It protects the officer

    6. THE END
