• 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.”
