The other day I was stopped by a police van while I was walking because they thought I was smoking weed (I was smoking a legal cigar). They proceeded to sniff my cigar and then asked me a bunch of questions. After that they looked at my ID and let me go.

Out of curiosity, did this count as a stop-and-frisk, or just a regular ol' stop?

I thought stop and frisk only happened to people of color? If that's the case then no because supposedly White people aren't stopped and frisked EVER.

It sounds as though they had "probable cause," and they didn't frisk you, so my guess would be no

Doesn't sound like you were frisked

Its called Common Law Right of Inquiry. Mere suspicion existed that you were smoking a joint. The police stopped you and asked for your identification, verified it wasn't a joint, and let you go on your way. But you were not searched or frisked so technically its not a "SQF".
