CSB - spot-effing-on.
Remember, a "Terry" stop is NOT authority to stop someone. That's circular logic. You must have a reason to interact with someone to stop them and engage. THEN, you may do pat down to ensure the lack of weapons or the like for Officer safety.
Reminds me of a story a former Operator told me when he went to work for the Air Marshals: He was presenting his creds at the entrance to the gates as he was required to and the agent wanted him to walk through the metal detector. He explained again who he was, why he was there, and showed his creds again. They still wanted him to walk through the detector.
He asked: "what is it you are looking for?"
answer: "Weapons."
He then pulls out his weapons and places them on the table and says "now what?"
They STILL had him go through the metal detector.
We were howling.
