Whether lawful, commonplace conduct that law abiding citizens routinely engage in can establish reasonable suspicion because it occurs near an expected crime scene

To justify a law -enforcement stop under Terry , officers must gather specific, articulable facts showing that crime is afoot. In th is case, while working an internet -sting operation, officers stopped a white truck that circled a public park because they believed it was a sexual predator meeting an undercover officer for sex. Despite having no matching description of the suspect or suspect’s vehicle, and despite committing no traffic violations, officers stopped Petitioner’s truck because it circled the ex pected crime scene. The question presented is this : Whether lawful, commonplace conduct that law abiding citizens routinely engage in can establish reasonable suspicion because it occurs near an expected crime scene. ii LIST OF PROCEEDINGS Supreme Court of Georgia No. S25C0914 Rodney Towe v.
