Abstract
This chapter focuses on the topic of stop-and-frisk. Stop-and-frisk describes an encounter where one (i.e., a civilian) is stopped and frisked without giving consent for the exchange with an officer. Stops-and-frisks are related to the Fourth Amendment and the 14th Amendment, respectively. With that being said, civilians and/or citizens who are stopped are astronomically people of color, and there has been protest and legal contest regarding the matter. After exploring those issues, a brief discussion of solutions and recommendations will take place.
