United States v. Cortez-Galaviz

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that a database report of vehicle insurance status “not found” was sufficient to establish reasonable suspicion to initiate a traffic stop in the absence of a showing of unreliability of the database
• explaining that the “suggestive ambiguity” of a “not found” response from Insure-Rite warranted “a brief traffic stop—even though it surely would not have sufficed for an arrest”
• basing the holding on the record before the court “without expressing views on what [it] might conclude if and when presented with a different record”
• determining a database response stating insurance information was “not found” provided reasonable suspicion
