Police want to know if you have a police record. Then they can look it up and see if you have a pattern of problems they need to be aware of.

Reverend Johnson was passing an abandoned building known for drugs when he was stopped and frisked by two police officers Did the police have the right to stop and frisk him?

The officers can make a voluntary contact with him by asking if they can speak to him. The officer can then ask him any questions that they want to. They can ask his permission to search him and if he agrees, they can search. The officers don't know who is a reverend, and anyway, reverends can be drug users. If the officers can articulate that the reverend's actions give rise to reasonable suspicion of drug activity, they can temporarily detain the reverend. Then, since weapons are known to go hand in hand with (articulable actions of) drug activity, they can search the reverend for weapons, and if they come across drugs in that search, they can arrest.
