High Court Justices Split Over Stop and Frisk Ruling
The Supreme Court with Chief Justice Warren Burger and Justices Powell and Rehnquist concurring edged toward broader use of court appointed attorneys at lower trial levels as it reviewed a Connecticut police stop and frisk ruling. Rehnquist wrote the majority opinion rejecting that a state’s liquor license made a private club a state partner in discrimination. Dissenters Brennan and Marshall argued the decision risks enabling police overreach. The case traces to a Hartford gun and heroin possession conviction overturned by the 2nd Circuit. The ruling follows a 1968 precedent permitting stops when suspicion exists but without arrest.
