Question:
Officer Horton was working routine foot patrol in an area of New York City known for avid drug activity. He'd made observations of Johnny Jenkins over a period several hours conversing with people known to him as narcotics users. Officer Horton did not hear any of the conversations and did not see anything pass between Johnny and the others. He confronted Johnny, though, at a restaurant a little while later and ordered Johnny to step outside. Johnny complied. While he questioned Johnny he reached into his pocket and pulled out several packets of what appeared to be heroin. - Was Officer Horton's seizure lawful?? Why or why not?
