Only slightly more effort would have been required to report just why the cop had "a reasonable suspicion that the passenger may be armed and dangerous".

Ergo, an armed citizen is a threat to police and to the public. So much for the Second Amendment. (And this BEFORE 0bama has altered the court.)

Liberty is an illusion. We have lost our republic.

harbor reasonable suspicion that a person subjected to the frisk is armed

Code words for "the id check found a CCW permit?"

OK Frisk Zer0!

Can he produce a Drivers License, or a passport?
Then, can he produce a voter’s card?
Then, can he produce a Birth Certificate?

If not,

Then, what the hell is he doing as our usurper-in-chief??

The pat-down is allowed if the police "harbor reasonable suspicion that a person subjected to the frisk is armed, and therefore dangerous to the safety of the police and public," Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said.

Odd , isn't it..thinking about Ruth Bader Ginsburg and frisking. It is probably a safe assumption that Ruth Bader Ginsburg , wishes someone would frisk her. Not going to happen Ruth.

Yet more Gestapo powers going to our local police. Socialism is an insidious process.

Rashid, Ayman and Abdul are speeding down I95. The police pull over Rashid, who then says to Ayman ‘here hold the C4’ and to Abdul he gives his piece. Ayman and Abdul are nervous as they aren’t quite ready to meet their virgins yet, and the police are suspicious.

some of you would have it so the police or ‘the pigs’ can’t search Ayman and Abdul ?

lets change the names then...three gangbangers named Anquan, Plaxico and Pacman are rolling through the hood. yadda yadda yadda.

still the 5-0 can’t do a simple pat down ?

whats wrong with you people...you want those pigs to be bacon ? srsly.

the supremes found it reasonable because it IS effing reasonable...if it isn’t then police your own damn neighborhoods. whiners.

Why? Okay, here:
[extract from court document slightly digested]

On April 19, 2002 members of Arizona’s gang taskforce were on patrol in Tucson near a neighborhood associated with the Crips gang. At approximately 9 p.m., the officers pulled over an automobile after a license plate check revealed that the vehicle’s registration had been suspended for an insurance-related violation

At the time of the stop, the vehicle had three occupants—the driver, a front-seat passenger, and a passenger in the back seat, Lemon Montrea Johnson.

Johnson was wearing clothing, including a blue bandana, considered consistent with Crips membership.

Johnson provided his name and date of birth but said he had no identification with him. He volunteered that he was from Eloy, Arizona, a place known to be home to a Crips gang. Johnson further said he had served time in prison for burglary and had been out for about a year.

Sounds like reasonable suspicion: In a place of gang activity, someone dressed like a gang member, carrying a police scanner, and admitting to being a convicted criminal recently out of prison.

This very thing happened to my d-i-l, her best friend, and best friend’s boyfriend a week ago. Boyfriend was driving and speeding. Cop stopped them and frisked all three of them. D-i-l said he kept saying that he thought it was really odd that she’d let somebody else drive her new car. My d-i-l was so scared that she even let him search her car.
