Lackey v. Richmond & Lancaster Turnpike Road Co.

How courts have described this case

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

• “When the overhead lights went on, the car was ‘seized’—in the sense that no reasonable driver would think that he was free to leave, see United States v. Mendenhall, 446 U.S. 544, 554 (1980).”
• “[The officer’s] minimally intrusive visual search of the floor of the front passenger seat through an opened car door, which he conducted to ensure that there was no weapon inside the car, was justified by his reasonable suspicion that criminal activity was afoot.”
