Walk It Through: Questioned on the Sidewalk
A stop on reasonable suspicion, a demand for a name, a frisk, and a refusal that counts as resisting.
Walking home past a store that was just broken into, a person is stopped by an officer who asks where he is going.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
A street stop on reasonable suspicion that ends without arrest. A search of a bag, a stop in a car and an arrest are covered on other pages.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
