Fact is the police as public agent can stop anyone on public property

No, he can't. Not without probable cause or reasonable suspicion.

From Terry, page 9: "Unquestionably petitioner was entitled to the protection of the Fourth Amendment as he walked down the street in Cleveland."

A street is public property, but funny, the Fourth Amendment doesn't go away. Huh.

the protection of the Fourth Amendment as he walked down the street in Cleveland

One attorney's opinion. Inapplicable. The Fourth Amendment refers to private property. Anyway, it's Ohio.
