noting that a report of a day-old burglary \does not transform a residential neighborhood into a no-man's land in which any passerby is fair game for roving police interrogatories\ (quoting In re Tony C., 582 P.2d 957, 962 (Cal. 1978))

“No rational inference may be drawn from the race of one to be detained that he may be engaged in criminal activities.”
“No rational inference may be drawn from the race of [a person] that he may be engaged in criminal activities.”
Two men talking to a third man seated in a car parked diagonally across more than one parking spot outside a bar in an area of high illegal drug activity in the mid-afternoon did not amount to a basis for an \articulable suspicion\ justifying a stop, pat-down and interrogation.
