What Is a Stop & Frisk?
A cop can detain and (“stop”) and pat down (“frisk”) if he has:
1. a “reasonable” suspicion of criminal behavior and/or
2. “reasonable” concern for officer safety. This applies on the street and at a traffic stop.
The officer needs to have more than a “hunch”, or a judge will throw out the search.
The officer needs to have something he can put into words which is both reasonable and rational….like “furtive movements” and reaching into bulky over-sized clothing, or a bulge that has the outline of a gun or knife.
He can’t go rooting around in your pockets without 1 and 2.

My experience with Mr. Behr and his staff was nothing short of phenomenal. I hope to not ever need representation again. But In the case I do. J would absolutely use Mr. Behr. I would also fully recommend him to anyone I know in need of representation. Jeff

When I travel throughout the world for business I can honestly say that I feel extremely comfortable knowing I can pick up the phone for guidance and know Mr. Behr will consistently have my back with a positive answer on the other end. I attribute my success with my business by having this honorable man on my team. Thomas

He filed motion after motion until the judge finally dismissed my case. He even took it to another judge. The guy never stopped and let nothing stop him. He was all over the prosecutor and knew more law than the judge, it was super cool to watch the man work. He is the best lawyer in the county. Jose
