Stop and frisk is a brief and non-intrusive stop by law enforcement where a suspect is stopped, asked to identify themselves, and potentially patted down for a weapon. The Fourth Amendment protects citizens by requiring police to have reasonable suspicion that a suspect may be involved in a past, present, or future crime before a stop and frisk can be initiated.

In this video, Chicago criminal defense attorney Kevin O'Flaherty discusses what happens if you're pulled over in Chicago.
If you find yourself pulled over in Chicago, you are provided certain protections under the law. While you have to comply with an officer's request for identification and proof of insurance. You do not have to answer any questions the police ask you. This is due to the 5th amendment protection against self-incrimination. Refusing to answer questions from an officer is NOT an admission of guilt. When pulled over, it is always recommended to be polite and give the documents requested, but also know your rights.

In this video, Chicago criminal defense attorney Kevin O'Flaherty discusses the rights you have even while under arrest in Chicago.
An arrest can happen at homes, businesses, from vehicles and for various reasons. Theft, suspicion, criminal acts, traffic violations and more actions can result in being arrested in Chicago. A common misconception is that there must be an arrest warrant in place before a party is arrested. While having an active warrant can be cause for arrest, there are exceptions that give officers the discretion to arrest an individual.
When an arrest takes place you need to know what protections you have under the law. In this article, we explain the arresting and charging process and the rights you have before, during, and after you're arrested.
