Raskin and Terry

Raskin and Terry are legal principles related to privacy rights. The "Raskin" concept emphasizes that individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy in certain settings, even when they share information with others. The "Terry" principle stems from the Terry v. Ohio case, which permits police to stop and briefly detain someone if they have a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, and to search for weapons if necessary. Together, these principles balance privacy rights against the need for law enforcement to prevent crime, highlighting the importance of reasonable suspicion and privacy expectations in legal procedures.
