I thought that most stop and frisks were based on Terry v. Ohio rather than consent…

Terry stop

[Foggen]

The key is that it’s been rightly determined that most stop and frisks don’t meet the “reasonable suspicion” standard of Terry, and therefore police have taken to trying to skirt the issue by claiming that the person waived their 4th Amendment rights by consenting to search.

And of course the justification for the frisk in a Terry stop is a search for WEAPONS, not contraband.

So the charge will be resisting arrest consent?
