Abstract
City of Missoula v. Kroschel asks the Court to define the parameters of an officer’s lawful questioning during a non-vehicular investigatory stop. Montana’s Terry stop statute, articulated in Section 46–5–401 of the Montana Code Annotated (the “Terry statute”), authorizes an officer to request a person’s name and address and an explanation of the person’s actions when the officer has a particularized suspicion that the person is committing or has committed a crime. Kroschel argues that an officer is limited to the questions specifically enumerated in the statute and an individual may decline to answer free of consequence.
