What is "stop and frisk" search?

A "stop and frisk" search is defined in People v. Chua[107] as "the act of a police officer to stop a citizen on the street, interrogate him, and pat him for weapon(s) or contraband."[108] Thus, the allowable scope of a "stop and frisk" search is limited to a "protective search of outer clothing for weapons."[109]
