When can the New York City police Department lawfully stop and detain me?

The New York City Police Department can stop and detain you if they have probable cause to believe that you are about to commit a crime or have committed a crime.  The general rule is that Fourth Amendment seizures are “reasonable” only if based on probable cause to believe that the individual has committed a crime.
