How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • finding that the dispute over whether or not the driver changed lanes without a signal was material and denying an officer qualified immunity on the plaintiff’s unreasonable seizure claim where the officer detained the plaintiffs and searched the vehicle
  • affirming denial of qualified immunity where there was question of fact whether driver committed multiple illegal lane changes
  • explaining that an officer has probable cause “when the facts and circumstances within the officer’s knowledge and of which they have reasonably trust- worthy information are sufficient to warrant a prudent person in believing that the suspect had committed an offense” (cleaned up)
  • the Fourth Amendment guarantees citizens the right “ ‘to be secure in their persons ... against unreasonable ... seizures’ of the person.”
  • individual’s presence in a high-crime area alone does not support reasonable articulable suspicion
