Police may stop a person if they have a reasonable suspicion that the person has committed or is about to commit a crime, and may frisk the suspect for weapons if they have reasonable suspicion that the suspect is armed and dangerous, without violating the Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures. A police officer can also ask for a suspect's name, address, and purpose when they stop a suspect in a public place and reasonably suspect them of committing a felony. Sibron's conviction reversed; Peters' conviction upheld.
