Abstract
The Wardlow decision departs from long established Fourth Amendment jurisprudence by in effect allowing a single factor-flight--to be enough to establish reasonable suspicion justifying an investigative stop. While the United States Supreme Court claimed to base its conclusion on two factors- unprovoked flight in a high crime area-the majority's reasoning tells another story. This reasoning reveals the Court's reliance on the single factor of unprovoked flight to justify an investigatory stop.
