Opinion text

DENNIS, Justice, concurring. I fully subscribe to the concurring reasons assigned by Justice Calogero. Additionally, there is no doubt that the officers made a permissible Terry-type stop without probable cause to arrest prior to the seizure. Physical contact or a search is not the minimum intrusion which can be characterized as a Terry-type stop, which may consist of a “brief stop of a suspicious individual, in order to determine his identity or to maintain the status quo momentarily while obtaining more information.” Adams v. Williams, 407 U.S. 143, 146 , 92 S.Ct. 1921, 1923 , 32 L.Ed.2d 612 (1972).
