Matching. Correctly match the cases with their facts. Question 12 options: This case is where we get the terms racial profiling and driving while black. The defendant worked with a research team to see if black drivers were disproportionately stopped. In this case the Supreme Court found that the complainant had argued that based on the totality of the circumstances the officer could not discern that the complainant was not following their commands because of a medical emergency and therefore had acted reasonably. Furthermore, the complainant argued that the officers violated his fourth amendment rights, when he should have argued that they'd violated his 8th amendment rights instead. In this case an officer had a hunch that the three Black men standing on a corner were casing a building to rob it. He approached the men and questioned them about their presence, and subsequently patted them down. During the incident he recovered a gun and other burglar's tools. The men were arrested. The men later appealed their case (evidence suppression) to the Supreme Court arguing that their 4th amendment rights had been violated because they had been stopped without probable cause and searched illegally. The Supreme Court ruled that the officers could stop, question, and frisk a suspect for their own safety so long as they have specific articulable facts. 1. Graham v. Connor 2. Terry v. Ohio 3.
