A police officer saw a man who was a convicted drug dealer walking down the street. The officer temporarily detained the man based on a reasonable suspicion that the man was illegally carrying a weapon. The officer conducted a pat-down of the man and felt an indeterminate lump in the man's jacket pocket. The officer removed the object, which turned out to be a pocket Bible. Protruding from the Bible was a plastic bag containing a white powder. The officer recognized the powder as heroin, and immediately arrested the man. Later tests confirmed that the powder was heroin. At trial, the man's attorney moved to exclude evidence of the heroin. How should the judge rule? a. Deny the motion, because the evidence was discovered during a valid Terry stop.
b. Deny the motion, because the officer had reasonable suspicion that the man was carrying a weapon.
c. Grant the motion, because the pocket Bible did not immediately resemble a weapon or contraband.
d. Grant the motion, because the officer did not have probable cause to stop the man and conduct a pat-down.
