This is the sаme situаtiоn аs in the last questiоn. I'll put the situatiоn here again for you - just in case you weren't paying close attention: "Again, those sneaky police officers. Most citizens may not know this, but an often asked question by police is: "are you on paper?" That means, "are you on probation or parole." Now, probationers and parolees know they gotta answer that truthfully. If they don't answer truthfully, and the officer finds out (which BTW, the officer likely knows already from the computer or will find out very shortly - which the probationer or parolee well knows), the officer will call their probation or parole officer." So, now let's assume the stopped person is a parolee. Again, according to the U.S. Supreme Court, is the officer justified to stop and search a parolee based only on "reasonable suspicion?"
