Can a cop search you for no reason on the street?

No, a Police Officer cannot just randomly stop you on the streets and start searching. In the case Terry v. Ohio (1968), it's ruled that Police must have reasonable suspicion that you are about to commit a crime or have witnessed you committing a crime in order to detain you to stop and frisk. If a Police Officer detains you and searches you without your permission or reasonable suspicion, then this officer has violated your 4th amendment constitutional right to unreasonable searches and seizures.


Can police pat you down without charging you?

In certain circumstances, the police can conduct a pat-down search without charging you.

However, the search must be limited to a pat-down of the outer clothing to search for weapons, and it shouldn't go beyond what is necessary to ensure everyone's safety.

A cop can pat down anyone regardless of their sex or age as long as the reason for the search is consistent with case law.
