Minnesota v. Dickseron Precedents:
-
Terry v. Ohio (1968): There must be a narrowly drawn authority to permit
a reasonable search for weapons for the protection of the police officer,
where he has reason to believe that he is dealing with an armed and
dangerous individual, regardless of whether he has probable cause to arrest
the individual for a crime.
-
Sibron v. New York (1968): If the protective search goes beyond what is
necessary to determine if the suspect is armed, it is no longer valid, and
its fruits will be suppressed.
-
Michigan v. Long (1983): The seizure of contraband other than weapons
during a lawful search was justified by reference to the Court's cases under
the plain view doctrine.
-
Illinois v. Andreas (1983): If an officer lawfully pats down a suspect's
outer clothing and feels an object whose contour or mass makes its identity
immediately apparent, there has been no invasion of the suspect's privacy.
