(a) When a police officer has reasonable cause to believe that the behavior of an individual warrants further investigation for criminal activity, the officer may stop and question such person.
(b) When a police officer has stopped a person for questioning pursuant to subsection (a) hereof and has reasonable cause to believe there is danger to himself or others, he may conduct a limited search of that person for dangerous weapons. The police officer may take and keep such weapon or any other object, the possession of which may constitute a crime, until he has completed the questioning, at which time he shall either return such property so taken, if lawfully possessed, or arrest such person and dispose of such property according to law.
(c) In enforcing subsections (a) and (b) hereof, the Police Department and the individual police officer shall take special care not only to honor the rights of citizens as defined in the Constitution of the United States but also to safeguard the personal dignity of all those affected by it.
