How courts have described this case

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

  • determining that, under Rodriguez, travel plan questioning is only permissible if it does not extend the stop and requires a case-by-case evaluation
  • upholding suppression of drug-trafficking evidence discovered during a traffic stop that was improperly prolonged without reasonable suspicion
  • questioning driver about recent activities unrelated to the justification for the traffic stop is unconstitutional unless there is a reasonable suspicion of or probable cause to believe there is other criminal activity, or consent
  • follow- ing Rodriguez to affirm suppression of evidence from stop pro- longed by questions about travel plans unrelated to grounds for stop
  • no de minimis exception exists and an extension for any length of time is unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment when it is based on anything but the articulated reason for the stop
  • \[A]ny traffic stop extension without reasonable suspicion or consent—by even a de minimis length of time—amounts to an unreasonable seizure when the delay is based on anything but the articulated components of the stop's mission.\
