Is a search for weapons a justified search?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Garibay, B270656 (Cal. App. 2016):
frisk for weapons is justified where the officer 'can point to specific and articulable facts which, considered in conjunction with rational inferences to be drawn therefrom, give rise to a reasonable suspicion that the suspect is armed and dangerous.' " (Ibid., quoting People v. Medina (2003) 110 Cal.App.4th 171, 176.)
