State v. Fernando

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that Miranda does not apply when a motorist is subjected to roadside questioning during a routine traffic stop
• holding that an individual is not required to provide information, including his identification, to law enforcement officer who lacks probable cause to arrest
• holding that because a A-5867-17T3 14 vehicle stop is “presumptively temporary and brief” and “public, at least to some degree[,]” it does not automatically trigger the Miranda requirement
• holding that “[i]t would be unreasonable to expect the police to make guesses as to the nature of the criminal conduct at issue before deciding how they may interrogate a suspect.”
• noting that even someone detained in a Terry stop \is not obliged to respond\ to police questions
• noting that traffic stops are ordinarily regarded as investigative detentions and not custodial arrests for constitutional purposes
