Reid v. Colorado (legal case)

Reid v. Colorado (1962) is a legal case involving the issue of whether a police officer had the right to stop and question a person based on suspicious behavior. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the officer's suspicion was not enough to justify the stop, emphasizing that police must have specific facts to support their actions, rather than a vague sense of suspicion. This case reinforced the principle that individuals have the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, protecting citizens from arbitrary law enforcement actions based on inconclusive observations.
