How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that detention of plaintiff for approximately 45 minutes in patrol car was not an arrest because it was no longer than necessary to determine whether plaintiff was the suspect in a burglary and ended as soon as officers determined he was not
- holding that a 45-minute to 23 one-hour detention to identify an individual was lawful, despite the fact that the officers 24 did not look at the individual’s license and registration, because officers chose another 25 procedure that was “virtually certain” to resolve the situation
- pulling over burglary suspect, ordering him out of his truck at gunpoint, handcuffing him, and placing him in the back of a patrol car did not exceed the bounds of a valid investigatory stop
