: The Volokh ConspiracyDoes the Presence of a Licensed Firearm Create A Threat to Officer Safety Justifying a Search?
By Orin Kerr
No, says the Indiana Court of Appeals in Washington v. State. Correct, I think: The Supreme Court has repeatedly said that the standard for a Terry frisk is whether the officer reasonably suspects the person is ?armed and dangerous.? ?Armed? alone shouldn?t be enough, although of course in many cases the two will go together.
