(a) Stopping Suspect. Whenever a police officer of the City of Ionia reasonably suspects, or has reasonable cause to believe, that the behavior of an individual warrants further investigation for criminal activity, such officer may stop, temporarily detain and question such person. If such police officer shall not be in uniform at the time, he or she shall first identify himself or herself as a police officer to the person detained.
(1975 Code § 9.161)
(b) Search for Weapons. Whenever a police officer has stopped and detained a person for questioning, pursuant to subsection (a) hereof, and reasonably suspects, or has reasonable cause to believe, that there is danger to himself or herself or others, he or she may conduct a limited search of such person for dangerous weapons. The police officer may take and keep any such weapon or other thing found on such person, the possession of which may constitute a crime or might endanger the police officer or others, until such officer has completed the questioning, at which time such officer shall either return the property so taken, if lawfully possessed, or arrest such person and dispose of such property according to law.
(1975 Code § 9.162)
(c) Violations. No person shall refuse to stop and comply with the order of a police officer given pursuant to the authority of this section, or obstruct, resist, oppose, assault or threaten such officer with bodily harm, or aid, abet or encourage others to do so, or flee from such officer, or attempt to escape such officer's custody.
(1975 Code § 9.163)
(d) Exercise of Care; Stopping Vehicles. The Ionia Police Department and individual police officers will take special care to exercise sound and considered judgment in the enforcement of subsections (a) through (c) hereof, not only to honor the rights of citizens as defined by the United States Constitution and the Constitution of the State of Michigan, but also to safeguard the personal dignity of all those affected by it. The driver or occupants of a motor vehicle stopped for a routine traffic violation shall not be searched or unduly detained, nor shall the vehicle be searched, or impounded, if the driver's license and the vehicle registration are in order, the vehicle is equipped as required by State law, and the driver's ability to drive is not impaired, provided that special and unusual circumstances which reasonably cause an officer to believe his life or person is endangered shall justify a limited search for dangerous weapons.
(1975 Code § 9.164)
