That evening, Springdale, Arkansas, police were looking for multiple suspects who had fled a traffic stop on foot. In the dash cam video of the stop, you can hear how young the boys are and sense their confusion. But in Terry v. Ohio, the Supreme Court ruled that the police have “narrow” authority to make “limited” stops without probable cause. Now, the Institute for Justice is appealing the boys’ case to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has an opportunity in this case to set a clear limit on when a police stop becomes an arrest and when someone can get justice after their constitutional freedoms have been trampled on.
