Boston College Investigatory Stops and Lawful Arrests Paper

 

Discuss the major differences between a legal “investigatory stop” under the Fourth Amendment and Terry v. Ohio, and a lawful arrest. Be sure to include a full discussion of the different standards involved and the factual showings that must be established by the police to sustain the seizure.  Give an example of a scenario that would justify one over another. Be sure to back up your response with cases cited in the readings or other scholarly sources.
