The petition of the day is:

Title: Arkansas v. Fowler

Docket: 10-1273

Issue: Does the Court’s decision in Illinois v. Wardlow (2000), holding that unprovoked flight from the police may constitute reasonable suspicion justifying a brief investigative detention under Terry v. Ohio (1968), limit the power of police to arrest a suspect whose flight constitutes a criminal offense under state law?
