I'm not just going ahead and merging the articles is because there's no global perspective in either of them. There is also already an article on the underlying US Supreme Court decsion Terry v. Ohio and merging Terry stop to there might be the better choice. Otto4711 05:35, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Can you expand this to cover the scope of Terry? There seems to be a big body of case law regarding the officer's right to stop a suspected criminal (e.g., if the criminal is traveling in a vehicle) without probable cause to seek a "consent" search. (see Alabama v. White; SCOTUS). Also, the SCT has held that you can Terry "frisk" an automobile (Michigan v. Long). It would be great to see a little about these topics included in this article! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.57.74.52 (talk) 13:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
