With the Freddie Grey thing, I looked up the term “Terry Stop” which was being thrown around at the time.
“reasonable suspicion” and all that.
Yes, quite Constitutional, having survived several challenges by the SCOTUS.

“Our evaluation of the proper balance that has to be struck in this type of case leads us to conclude that 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. The officer need not be absolutely certain that the individual is armed; the issue is whether a reasonably prudent man, in the circumstances, would be warranted in the belief that his safety or that of others was in danger.”
Like enforcing our immigration laws, only Donald Trump has the stones to say, “Enough”.
So is same-sex marriage, if that is your criteria for constitutionality.
