How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that, when assessing reasonable suspicion, the court should consider only the facts known to the officer at the moment the officer diverted and extended the traffic stop
- concluding that because “each minute that the trooper spent arranging the dog sniff was time the citation-related tasks went unaddressed . . . his actions necessarily prolonged the stop”
- when assessing reasonable suspicion, the court should consider only the facts known to the officer at the moment the officer extended the traffic stop
- “Generally, the fact that a vehicle has been rented, standing alone, does not add to reasonable suspicion unless there are specific facts that make the rental relevant or unusual.”
- “[T]he [license plate reader] search plainly exceeded the scope of the stop’s traffic-based mission.”
