Terry v. Ohio, 392 US 1 (1968)
The Fourth Amendment, specifically the Search and Seizure Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment. Terry's attorney attempted to have the "stop and frisk" technique labeled an unreasonable search and seizure in order to have any evidence discovered during the search suppressed under the Exclusionary Rule.
The case also raised the question of whether the petitioner's Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizure was made applicable to the States by the Fourteenth Amendment.
The US Supreme Court found the "stop and frisk" technique constitutional when a "reasonably prudent officer" has concerns for his or others' safety. As a result, evidence produced from the search may be used against the defendant in court.

Terry v. Ohio examined whether the "stop and frisk" technique was a violation of constitutional protection under the Fourth Amendment Search and Seizure Clause. Terry's attorney believed the evidence obtained during the search should be suppressed under the Exclusionary Rule. The Exclusionary Rule applies to the product of an illegal search and seizure, preventing the evidence from being used against the suspect in court.
The US Supreme Court held that "stop and frisk" was a legitimate investigatory technique when a "reasonably prudent officer" had reason to be concerned about his or others' safety, and was, therefore, constitutional.
