Number 67 John W. Terry at Out, petitioner is versus Ohio.

Hey everyone, I'm Leon Mayfac, co-creator of Slow Burn and Fiasco.

On today's episode of 5-4, Peter, Riannan and Michael are talking about Terry V. Ohio,

a case that cleared a path to the policing tactic we all know is stop and frisk.

Intended to be a quick check to identify hidden weapons or contraband, it's known to stop and frisk.

But communities of color say it targets many and unfairly at that.

In October of 1963, a police officer in Cleveland, Ohio saw two men walking back and forth past a storefront in a manner he found suspicious.

So he approached them, patted them down, and discovered they had guns.

When the men were prosecuted for carrying concealed weapons,

a defense lawyer argued that the stop and frisk had been illegal.

But in 1968, the Supreme Court ruled that the officers' actions did not violate the Fourth Amendment.

This is 5-4, a podcast about how much the Supreme Court sucks.

Welcome to 5-4, a podcast where we dissect and analyze the Supreme Court decisions that have weighed down American life,

like stones in the pocket of a struggling swimmer, steadily dragging him toward the bottom of the ocean while he flails helplessly toward the surface.

Water slowly filling his box.

We've had the ocean eroding rocks and we've had rocks crushing.

Look, it's always a water theme.

Or rocks.

It's pretty difficult to have a set of men to read.

This is like my third metaphor and I am running extremely low ideas.

I am Peter, Twitter's the law boy I'm here with Michael.

Hey everybody.
