If you don't live or work in a high crime area or a place where drug addicts/dealers wander around w/o concern for the law or public safety then you might be more inclined to disapprove of S&F.

I have a very real problem with that sentiment. Not everyone has the luxury of choosing where they live, and "high crime" areas are not exclusively populated by criminals.
Should my expectations of privacy and freedom of movement be subject to the neighborhood in which I live? There are some sobering implications to that logic.
I also wonder how vague justifications like “furtive movements” and "clothes commonly used in crime" [CRCJ study from post #38, p. 8] can be upheld by the courts.
