Do you realize how little weight 'posing a threat' goes in Terry disarmament in PA, right? Are you applying 'posing a threat' with a different gravity as it applies to this situation?
A brief mention from our PA Supreme Court...Commonwealth v. Hawkins
Quote:
Even if the Constitution of Pennsylvania would permit such
invasive police activity as the Commonwealth proposes -- which it does not --
such activity seems more likely to endanger than to protect the public.
Unnecessary police intervention, by definition, produces the possibility of
conflict where none need exist.
