Terry v. Ohio, 392 US 1 (1968)

It didn't change the Fourth Amendment at all. The US Supreme Court interpreted the Fourth Amendment as allowing the "stop and frisk" procedure to which Terry objected. The Court held the circumstances in the case did not fall under the definition of "unreasonable search and seizure."

Terry v. Ohio, 392 US 1 (1968)

It didn't so much 'change' law enforcement as it did codify law enforcement officer's rights to self-protection during citizen 'contacts'/'stops' for "reasonable suspicion."

The Supreme Court summarized their reaction to Terry's challenge, "the exclusionary rule has its limitations." The purpose of the Exclusionary Rule is to discourage police and other law enforcement officials from abusing their power by suppressing any evidence gathered illegally, (as defined by statute and by the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Fourth Amendment Search and Seizure Clause).

A Terry Stop is when the police are allowed to stop, question and frisk someone they believe is behaving suspiciously. It is not the same as an arrest because it is limited in terms of both the time the police can talk with a subject and what they talk to the subject about. A Terry Stop can lead to arrest if evidence of wrongdoing is found. Terry Stops should not be legalized because it is leads to racial profiling from police officers.

A major problem with Terry Stops is that it leads to conflict between minorities and the police.

The biggest problem with the Terry Stop law is that there is no way to tangibly analyze what getting stopped and frisked by the police in public does to someone's psyche. There will be people that will always be able to see a Terry Stop for what it is and be able to move on with their day and their lives.

When it comes to tangible payback from the police department it is tough to get because Terry stops are legal and not only that it is hard to prove racial profiling even with the overwhelming statistics.

Is Terry v. Ohio a criminal case?

Terry v. Ohio, 392 US 1 (1968)John Terry's trial (State of Ohio v. John W. Terry) was a criminal case, but the US Supreme Court case (Terry v. Ohio) involved police procedure as applied under constitutional law. Terry wasn't on trial before the Supreme Court; the Court reviewed whether Terry's Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure had been violated and, if so, whether the evidence in his criminal case should have been suppressed under the Exclusionary Rule.If the the Supreme Court had held in Terry's favor, instead of Ohio's, the conviction would have been vacated and the case remanded to the trial court for a new trial, at which time it would have become a criminal case again.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
