Under stop and frisk exception, when someone is 'reasonably stopped' police officers have a right to perform a cursory search, pat down or frisk, of the stopped individual to ensure their own safety. If a police officer reasonably believes that a person is armed/dangerous than they can perform the minor inconvenience of a pat down (without warrant or probable cause). The sole justification for such a search is for the protection of the officer and others nearby, so search must therefore be confined in scope to an intrusion reasonably designed to discover guns/knives/clubs or other dangerous instruments for the assault of a police officer.
If a police officer does a 'stop and frisk' and feels a huge rock of crack cocaine they can't do anything about it because that is outside the scope of what they're looking for under the 'stop and frisk' exception.

Just sounds unconstitutional.
What can you do about it now though? Everything seems so far gone, I mean as of right now the government can detain or kill anyone they want (citizens included) if they declare them an enemy combatant.
The American people need to wake the fuck up and take their nation back. Anyone voting for these republican and democrat liars is contributing to the destruction of our nation. Its time for REAL change, instead of just being lied to continuously we need to refuse to take part in this farce that is American politics.
I mean less than 50% of thr eligible voters in this nation actually vote and of those voters the election is split every time nearly 50/50. We haven't had a president in the united states who legitimately represented a majority of the people in decades! Despite what the old guard politicians would have you believe many of the non-voters in this country abstain from voting because picking the lesser of two evils simply isn't a decision we are willing to make.
I just feel sorry for anyone who thinks liberals and conservatives are not on the same side. They go out, trash talk eachother, then when it's all said and done their main objective is to keep the wool over the eyes of the sheep voters.
