Abstract

The Fourth Amendment requires that citizens be free from unreasonable searches or seizures. A recent case, Adams v. Williams, modifies the previous Terry v. Ohio standard and broadens what may be considered a reasonable search. This case brings into question whether these requirements have been altered and how law enforcement and courts may respond.
