Florida
My son has been stopped and frisked twice by county police in Florida, once in mid day and once at night. My question is under what law do police have the right to stop juveniles who are walking in their own neighborhoods. As there is no curfew in our county, what right to police have to stop kids walking about in the wee hours? And do they have the right to frisk them even if their only "crime" is that they are out after the time a police officer feels is reasonable for them to be on the streets? Also, when does an intrusive frisk become a Fourth Amendment violation? If no drugs are found on a person after two frisks but a third frisk reveals them, is the police officer engaging in a Fourth Amendment violation and is the evidence still admissible?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
