U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-3178
U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Beam and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Police officer's conduct in walking up to
defendant and asking what he was doing standing in the street and talking
to passengers in a car was not a pre-pat-down seizure; considering all of
the circumstances, the officer had a reasonable suspicion of criminal
activity and was warranted in conducting a pat-down search for his safety
and the safety of the other officers on the scene.
